We are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral homeland of the Mi’kmaq People, and we acknowledge them as the past, present, and future caretakers of this land.

This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725.

People of African descent have shared these lands, in what is now called Nova Scotia, for more than 400 years; over 50 strong and resourceful African Nova Scotian communities exist here today.

We are all Treaty people.
