Junior Peter-Paul is a proud Mi’kmaq man and a member of the Elsipogtog First Nation. He was born in Presque Isle, Maine and raised in Elsipogtog and lives in Epekwitk to be close to his children and grandchildren.

Junior spent his whole adult life learning and teaching the Mi’kmaq way of life. Sharing his knowledge and teachings down to his community and youth in all areas of Mi’kmaki.

Junior is extremely active in his community, by working with the younger generations and teaching them about singing, drumming and Mi’kmaq Culture. Sweat lodge ceremonies and other ceremonial practices are a part of his daily life. He takes great pride in the teachings that have been passed down to him and he enjoys being able to share that knowledge with our youth and surrounding communities today.

With the help and guidance of many Elders before him, Junior has been able to raise all his children with traditional Mi’kmaq values and knowledge that they still follow by today.
