The Mi'Kmaq (Mic Mac) Indians inhabited a region stretching from the northern coast of Maine to Nova Scotia and Prince Albert Island. During a period of roughly 1700. The Mic-Mac people moved westward and joined other Algonkian-language speaking tribes of the Great Lakes Region. George A West, author of "The Aboriginal Pipes of Wisconsin," sketched at least 66 Mic-Mac pipes, all found in Wisconsin.
Mic-Mac style pipes have been found in digs as far south as Georgia and from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains. The style was similar to the Mic-Mac pipes found in Wisconsin. Mic Mac pipes probably evolved shortly before the Contact Period and probably dates earlier than 1700. Pewter-inlaid adornments found on some of the pipes, demonstrates the influence of trade with Europeans for trade goods. A variety of materials were used to create these pipes, including steatite, limestone, chlorite, sandstone, slate, and sometimes pipestone. Early Mic-Mac pipes often exhibited a cylindrical base surmounted by a round or inverted acorn-shaped bowl.
