This was a fantastic event today. I’m not Indigenous, but everyone was welcome. Mi’kmaw women were drumming and singing. They had medicinal plants on display, a rabbit skinning demonstration, and free moose stew and bannock. Thank you to Qalipu for being so welcoming. #Newfoundland

Caribou:
The name comes from the Mi'kmaq who called caribou xalibu/qalipu ("the one who paws"/"snow shoveler"). The Inuit word is Tuktu, while the Cree called the animal Atihk/Atik.

the qalipu pretendian hunters on instagram are hilarious. the way these white people hang up when heather, an actual 60s scoop survivor calls them out on their bullshit. why is canada giving white people rule over indigenous spaces without a lick of research into these people?

to be clear about "caribou":
mi'qmak "qalipu" went through a french filter before being anglicised
"makάlipo" is the penobscot equivalent
"mokalip*" is the passamaquoddy-wolastoqey
etc.
they're all cognate & the origin is obvious when you hear it spoken.
