Nova Scotia's history did not start with a ship. The Mi'kmaq were here first, in a homeland they call Mi'kma'ki. It covers all of today's Nova Scotia and reaches into PEI, New Brunswick, the Gaspé and Maine.

@andrewcgrant.bsky.socialAre Mi'kmaw hieroglyphs one of the earliest Indigenous writing systems or just a memory aid?
Both the use and origin of these glyphs is uncertain but what is certain is they look nothing like European writing systems.

@downiewenjack.bsky.socialOctober 1 is Treaty Day in Nova Scotia. In 1986, Mi’kmaq Grand Chief Donald Marshall Sr. called on Mi’kmaw people to observe the date each year in recognition of the treaty relationship between the Mi’kmaq and the Crown.
