Acknowledgements

Land and Peoples

I wish to first acknowledge we are on Epekwitk, part of the ancestral, unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Mi’kmaw Nation,

and on which this institution stands. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship, which recognize

Mi’kmaw title and establish the ongoing relationship between the Mi’kmaw Nation and the Crown. We are all treaty people.
