I would like to acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This land is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship,” first signed in 1725, which established an ongoing relationship between the Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik Peoples and the Crown. These treaties recognized the Mi’kmaq’s rights to their land and resources, and they remain living agreements to this day.​

 

I also wish to honour the legacy and contributions of African Nova Scotians, whose communities have been an integral part of the province for over 400 years. These communities have deep roots, resilience, and cultural influence that continue to shape Nova Scotia today.We are all Treaty People, and we are called to live in right relations with one another and with this land.
