Miawpukek First Nation (Conne River)

The Miawpukek First Nation, the largest Mi'kmaq community on the island of Newfoundland, is centred on Conne River on the south coast. "The people of Conne River elected a chief and band council in 1972," and "the Conne River community achieved federal status under the Indian Act in 1984" — making the Miawpukek Mi'kmaq Newfoundland and Labrador's first Indigenous nation to do so. source
