    I don't take credit for this. It's on wikipedia;

    'A saqamaw (plural saqamaq) is a "chief" of a local Mi'kmaq First Nation Community in Quebec, Canada, Maine, United States, Newfoundland, New Brunswick or Nova Scotia.

    Translated into English, it can mean:

    * gentleman
    * chief
    * man of high rank
    * big shot'

    'Council of Elders may refer to:

    In politics:

    * Council of Elders of the Bundestag (Germany), a joint deliberative body
    * Council of Elders of Tokelau, meaning the 3 faipules of the 3 main Tokelauan islands
    * Council of Five Elders, a form of government in feudal Japan
    * French Council of Elders, the upper house of the Directory
    * Somali council of elders, the traditional form of government in Somaliland
    * Teip Council of Elders, a council within the Chechen tribal organization Teip
    * Roman Senate, from the Latin senatus meaning "council of elders"'

    You could probably just Wikipedia them all and get a general idea. Sorry if that's not much help and you've already done that!!

    I believe the Great White Pine is a symbol of unity and enduring strength (because its leaves never fall off and it's always green) The pines grow in bunches of 5 which shows the unity of the five nations. The fact that the tree has never fallen shows its strength.

    Ew, I don't know the answer to any of those. I hate being foreign :cry:

    ..but I bet I could have did the test easily if I had studied it. It looks to me that it only requires a little memorizing and poof.. full marks. :lol:
