Living With Mi’kma’ki in Kisikewiku
Berry Ripening Time
Kisikewiku (August) is known as Berry Ripening Time. Delicious blueberries are abundant on Lennox Island, and there are so many tasty recipes we can enjoy using them!
But it’s not just berries the land gives us during this moon. Our school gardens are also thriving, with vegetables and herbs growing strong. They’ll be ready for us to harvest and prepare when Wikumkewiku arrives.

Located on Lennox Island, Epektwik, John J. Sark Memorial School has been welcoming Indigenous students through its doors since 1981.
About John J. Sark Memorial School
Named after John James Sark, a much-respected community leader and teacher, the school’s establishment would not have been possible without the perseverance of many community members.
Our Language and Culture
We aim to deepen students’ understanding of our Mi’kmaq language and culture while laying the foundation for a successful learning journey.
Learning from the Land
Drawing on the traditions of our Mi’kmaq culture, we weave land-based education and experiential activities into our curriculum at every grade level.
