l'nu'pesin- the people's dancing
This site offers a thorough explanation of many of the traditional Mi'kmaq dance traditions. Unfortunately, the links to images are broken, but it still provides a good overview.
"Like many groups, the Mikma'q had their own special way of dancing that identified them. You can see this today in the Koju'a, ancient dances that the Mi'kmaq have revitalized (see section below). The dances could be formal or informal. Nskawaqn are formal, ordered dances, while informal dances are Amalkay, which means "any old way to dance, just move your body" (Bernie Francis, personal communication, October 11, 1991)."
