\"Church\" <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This church as well as the rectory and cemetery was built in 1842 by Mi\u2019kmaq Indians and Acadians and is known as Chapelle Sainte-Anne de Beaumont. It is situated near the village of Memramcook, a Mik\u2019maq word meaning \u201cCrooked River\u201d for the chocolate-looking river that runs through the valley. Here you found an important cultural and religious milieu connecting Acadian and the local Mi\u2019kmaq culture which embraced Catholicism after chief Membertou conversion in 1610. This significant but somewhat forgotten cultural convergence also brought about a very significant choice by the Mi\u2019k maq of Sainte-Anne as patron Saint, which also coincided with the Acadian National Society designation in 1881 of Sainte-Anne August 15th anniversary as an annual Acadian national holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Medicine Wheel <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The medicine wheel (also called the Sun Dance Circle or Sacred Hoop) is an ancient and sacred symbol used by many Tribes. It signifies Earth\u2019s boundary and all the knowledge of the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the sacred hoop of the nation, and so long as the hoop was unbroken, the people flourished. The flowering tree was the living center of the hoop, and the circle of the four quarters nourished it.  \nHe\u021f\u00e1ka S\u00e1pa (Black Elk)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
