Since time immemorial the Mi’kmaw people have cared for and stewarded the land we now call Nova Scotia. Mi’kma’ki, the traditional territory of the Mi’kmaq, includes all of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, parts of New Brunswick, the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, and parts of Maine (USA). The Mi’kmaq of Nova Scotia are unique in their traditions, stories, songs and dances, art and craft, histories, spirituality, and language influenced by the lands and waters they are deeply connected to. Did you know? Mi’kmaw was officially proclaimed Nova Scotia’s first language in 2022!
