Site d'interprétation de la culture Micmac de Gespeg

The Site d'interprétation de la culture Micmac de Gespeg is a Canadian museum on the culture of the Mi'kmaq in southern Québec , located in Pointe-Navarre on the Gaspésie Peninsula. The open-air museum , which tries to reconstruct the life of the residents around 1675, is located at 783, Boulevard Pointe-Navarre, opposite the Notre Dame des Douleurs church . In addition, today's craft is exhibited in a separate building.

Around 1675 Chrestien Le Clercq (1655 - after 1700) from Flanders began to evangelize with the local Mi'kmaq, today's nation Micmac de Gespeg . Le Clercq was a member of the Franciscan Recollects , a Reformed branch of the Franciscans founded in 1592.
