The Micmac, also known as the Mi'kmaq, L'nu and Mi'kmaw, are an indigenous First Nations people who predominantly reside in Canada's Maritime Provinces and the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec. They call this region Mi'kma'ki. Others today live in Newfoundland and the northeastern region of Maine.

Canada has 28 separate groups of Micmac, but only one Micmac tribe is recognized, the 1000 member plus Aroostook Band of Micmac in northern Maine which received state recognition in 1973 with federal status following in 1991.

Because of the 1794 Jay Treaty between Great Britain and the United States, the Micmac have the right to move freely back-and forth across the US-Canada border. Many have chosen to leave the Canadian Maritimes in favor of the northeastern United States.

Presently, more than 2,000 Micmac reside in the greater Boston area (making them one of the largest Native American groups in New England). Several hundred more live in New York City.
