Our Dearest Condolences

Attention Community Members.

Chief and Council, alongside The Listuguj Mi’gmag Government, would like to extend our deepest condolences to the Wysote family on the passing of former Councillor Nellie Wysote, beloved wife of former Chief Jack Jegops’n Wysote.

Nellie was a respected elder, educator and community leader. Some of the contributions to the community include

· Education and Language: Collaborated as a lesson developer for the Learn Mi’gmaq Initiative, working with the Listuguj Education Directorate and McGill University to preserve and teach the Mi’gmaq language

· Land-Based Learning: She was instrumental in founding Nipugtugewei (Forest Kindergarten) at Alaqsite’w Gitpu School.

· Community Leadership: Under the administration of former Chief Brenda Gedeon, Nellie served as a Councillor from 1994 to 1996. Nellie was often involved with community events

We’d like to take the time to acknowledge and honour the late Nellie Wysote, who passed away on January 13, 2026. Nellie will be remembered for her strength, kindness and the love she shared with her family and the community. Her support alongside her late husband Chief Jack Jegops’n Wysote leadership was deeply valued, and her legacy will continue through the lives and memories she leaves behind.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wysote Family during these difficult times.

With respect and sympathy,

Chief and Council

Four Pillars Update

Attention Community Members!

A message from Macy Metallic, 4-Pillars Project Coordinator

The 4-Pillars Team would like to thank the many members, including our high school students, who came out to the community engagement sessions held on November 17-19, 2025, and shared their important, very thoughtful and helpful views on our VISION for our Mi’gmaw language. They also shared their suggestions regarding the priority actions we should be taking to make Mi’gmaw our primary, normal, natural everyday language.

We met briefly Monday morning with some members of the Council to update them. This is a busy time of the year, so we will not be able to make the progress report to the full Chief and Council for another several days.

As soon Chief and Council have received it, they will issue their views and hopefully their commitment to pursue the very strong and sound thinking shared by the members on our Mi’gmaw language.

Wela’lioq to all,
Macy Metallic
4-Pillars Project Coordinator
