The Mikmaq are named after the Native Tribes of North America. They chose the western name to identify themselves because their native Tarutaru name is completely unpronouncable by foreign tongues or even modern Tarutaru. Due to their dislike of vast technology they live simple lifestyles with nature and smaller settlements. They have also rejected the use of gunpowder weaponry until recently and live well without the interference of much technology. Only recently have they started to utilize modern technology in their living but only to more practical uses.

Like the other six tribes, the Mikmaq used the non-harmful form of technology. The Ottawas, like the other six tribes are expert trackers and hunters and live naturally well in the wilderness. Fishing is also essential for them. They are by no means barbarians in any means due to the fact that their musical skills, along with the other six tribes cannot be rivaled. They are also formidable martial artists and throughout the Tarutaru Union's military forces they are used as bodyguards as well as instructors for basic and advanced self defense skills.

Like the other six tribes, the Mikmaq have only recently involved themselves into foreign affairs. They are seatholders in the Tarutaru Union. They, like the Principalities, and Protectorates are given full membership with 3 seats per tribe. Their economics and domestic financial matters are often left in the hands of Xheng officials assigned to assist them.
