In the fall of 2006, the First Nation communities of Listuguj, Eel River Bar, and Pabineau came together to form the Gespe'gewaq Mi'gmaq Resource Council Inc. This began a journey that would bring the communities together to improve social conditions, economic conditions, and communication levels in the areas of aquatic and natural resource management.

As Mi’gmaw people, our connection to Mother Earth remains essential to our very existence. It is because of this special relationship that the Gespe'gewaq Mi'gmaq Resource Council exists.
