Welcome to Listuguj.ca
..............................................................................................................
Welcome to our website! It is our hope that this site will serve as a vital communication link to all our members, no matter where they may reside. The listuguj.ca site will one day serve as an important interactive window between our members and Council and the administration.
Listuguj, one of the largest Mi'gmaq communities on the East Coast, is part of the Mi'gmaq Nation, and is located on the border of Quebec and New Brunswick. Situated directly across the Restigouche River from Campbellton, NB, Listuguj lies within the tribal district of Gespe'gewa'gi. It is one of three Mi'gmaq communities in Quebec and is a member of the Mi'gmawei Mawiomi Assembly.
Listuguj was not always situated at its present location. Many years ago, Listuguj, or Tigog as it was traditionally called, was located on the other side of the Restigouche River, at the bottom of Sugarloaf Mountain, where the town of Atholville is located today.
Listuguj operates under the Indian Act of Canada; federal legislation enacted by the parliament of Canada. It is governed by 1 Chief and 12 Councilors that are elected every two years by the Listuguj community members. Chief Allison Metallic is the current Chief and has been involved in Band politics for most of his adult life.
Please visit regularly as we will post new information when it becomes available. Each Directorate will assign members of their staff with the responsibility for communicating the news and developments in their program areas. Council will want to keep the members informed of upcoming community functions, and other important information.
We look forward to serving you.
