Mi'kmaq Rights Initiative

Wela'liek to the Grand Council, Mi'kmaw Kina'matnewey and all partnering organizations for bringing us together today, Nation-to-Nation to commemorate the signing of the 1726 Treaty.

The 1726 Treaty outlined peace between the Mi'kmaq and the British and that the British would protect Mi'kmaw lands, liberties, and fisheries. Consent was gathered across Mi'kmaw districts, underscoring the importance of collective decision-making.
