Indigenous connection

±ÊÂá¾±±ô²¹â€™s¾±!Ìý

ÃÀÅ®×ö°® is located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the L’nu’k. We are all Treaty People. The Peace and Friendship treaties did not involve the surrender of land and it is our social responsibility to understand and respect the treaty, the people, their way of life, and the Elders.
