Kluskap (Glooscap) is an Abenaki word meaning "Man from nothing".  Glooscap, the first human, was created out of a bolt of lightening in the sand and remains a mystical figure that appears in many of the Mi'kmaw legends. These legends are stories that are passed down from generation to generation and tell of the Mi'kmaw culture. 

Millbrook First Nation has achieved wide recognition as an astute organization, transforming part of its reserve, centrally located adjacent to the most-travelled highway in Nova Scotia, from forested woodland to the Truro Power Centre - a full-service lifestyle centre. As part of the development of the 400 acres at the Truro Power Centre, a Mi'kmaq Heritage Centre and a Visitor Information Centre was commissioned and built. The design of the Centre included a forty-foot statue of Glooscap that provides a dramatic visual experience for visitors

At the Glooscap Heritage Centre discover Mi’kmaw heritage and the Glooscap legends. 

q       Look up at a giant 12m (40 ft.) statue of Glooscap, believed to be the tallest human-like statue in Canada. 

q       Immerse yourself in an innovative multimedia presentation as Glooscap guides you through the trials, tribulations and survival of the Mi’kmaw people. (17 minute presentation)

q       Contemplate ten thousand-year-old Aboriginal tools, some of the oldest in Canada, from nearby Debert.

q       View stunning traditional Mi’kmaw quillwork, beadwork, clothing and artifacts.

q       Learn to speak some Mi’kmaw words.

We look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience to discuss the next step in making this program one that will truly bring history to life.
