Conne River, Newfoundland and Labrador

Conne River, Newfoundland and Labrador

Conne River is a Canadian community in Bay d'Espoir on the island of Newfoundland.

The Miawpukek First Nation government have revived the historical name and have replaced "Conne River" with "Miawpukek" in most of its own references to the community.

Miawpukek First Nation is a Mi'kmaq First Nation in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, with a population of On reserve 787, Off Reserve 1779. (September 1st, 2006)

Since 1985, the community has renewed it's traditional culture, which had been put on hold, after the exile of Saqamaw Geodol.

A favourite attraction for visitors from near and far is its Annual Powwow, started in 1995 and held the first weekend every July. Miawpukek celebrated its 12th Annual Powwow in 2007.
