Treaty Education
Nova Scotia has several historic treaties with the Mi'kmaq that date back to the 1720's, known as the Peace and Friendship treaties. These treaties are still in effect today. In 2015, the Province of Nova Scotia and the Mi'kmaq of Nova Scotia signed an agreement to create a new Treaty Education partnership. The aim of treaty education is to educate people about the Mi'kmaq, their history and culture, the treaties that exist and how treaties have been denied, and pathways forward to reconciliation. In order to support Treaty Education, the staff at Western Counties have compiled this list of resources in order to help people better understand Mi'kmaq history and culture and the treaties that effect us all.
