The community is also allied to other Mi'kmaq communities in the Gasp\u00E9 region of Quebec and in northern New Brunswick. Together, their elected Chiefs advance ancestral claims to self-government and to the traditional territory called Gespe'gewa'gi ('Kesp\u00E9kew\u00E1ki), the last land. Gespe'gewa'gi is the Mi'kmaq Nation District that extends from the Miramichi River to the tip of the Gasp\u00E9 Peninsula, a land area that straddles the modern day Quebec/New Brunswick border. The First Nation is a strong advocate of Aboriginal peoples in Canada, and aboriginal and treaty rights. Its main resource is the Atlantic salmon and other fruits of the waters and forests, including modern harvest of timber. Political representatives of the Mi'kmaq of Gesgapegiag and the greater district of Gespe'gewa'gi continue talks with the Government of Quebec over access to traditional lands. The name Gesgapegiag, is the origin for the name of the Cascap\u00E9dia River, as well as other nearby places carrying the name Cascapedia."@en . "3746"^^ .
