We are in Unama’ki, one of the seven traditional and unceded ancestral territories of the people of Mi’kma’ki. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship which the Mi’kmaq first signed with the British Crown in 1726. These treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources since they did not refer in any way to the surrender of Mi’kmaq title or its acquisition by the Crown. Instead, they recognized and affirmed Mi’kmaq title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between Nations. We wish to recognize and honour this understanding of the lands on which we reside. It is from here that we work to create and support a culture of self-reliance and vibrancy on Unama’ki (Cape Breton Island).
