Treaty Day is an opportunity to learn, reflect and deepen our understanding of the historic and ongoing relationships between Mi’kmaq and non-Mi’kmaq people in Nova Scotia.
Treaties are not simply part of our past. They are living agreements that continue to shape our shared responsibilities today. In schools, Treaty Day provides an important opportunity to help students understand Mi’kmaq history, culture, rights and perspectives, while exploring what it means to live together in a spirit of respect, partnership and reciprocity.
By continuing to learn about the Treaties and our responsibilities within them, we help build stronger relationships and contribute to the ongoing work of reconciliation.
