@novascotiamuseum.bsky.socialReposted by @mnhnovascotia.bsky.socialTreaty Day marks the beginning of Mi'kmaw History Month in Nova Scotia.
Take time to explore Mi’kmaq Holdings Resource Guide, Peace and Friendship Treaties from Nova Scotia Archives.

We are all Treaty People.
@mnhnovascotia.bsky.socialThe creation of Pjila’si was a collaboration. A Mi’kmaw Advisory Group took the lead in the exhibit process. They identified the goals they wanted the exhibit to fulfill, created the gallery’s voice, and selected the community belongings to be displayed. Visitors are invited to learn and listen.
@mnhnovascotia.bsky.socialThis year is 40 years since Grand Chief Donald Marshall Sr. proclaimed Oct 1 as a day to honour the unique relationship between the Mi’kmaq and the Crown. Take time to learn about the history of our region, the heritage of the first peoples, and to reflect on how we can move forward together.
@mnhnovascotia.bsky.social#October 1st is Treaty Day in Nova Scotia, as well as the start of Mi’kmaw Heritage Month.
Nova Scotia is bound by the treaties of Peace and Friendship. Treaties are solemn agreements that set out long-standing promises, mutual obligations and benefits for both parties.
@novascotiamuseum.bsky.socialReposted by @mnhnovascotia.bsky.socialOn the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we invite you to learn about the discovery of ceramics made by students at the Shubenacadie Residential School.
Read the story: museum.novascotia.ca/stories/resi...
The ceramics are on display at the Museum of Natural History.
@mnhnovascotia.bsky.socialThis space brings to life the knowledge, skills, and adaptability of the Mi’kmaw people throughout history and to this day. It’s a place to engage, learn, and reflect.
@mnhnovascotia.bsky.socialIt is a time for learning and reflection with community through local gatherings and events, Friendship Centres, museums, and online resources. In the Museum, Pjila’si, meaning “welcome” in Mi’kmaw, is not just a gallery or exhibit. It’s an interactive space that celebrates Mi’kmaw culture.
@mnhnovascotia.bsky.social#September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The #Museum of Natural History is open 9:30am - 4:30pm, with free admission.
The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities.
