Reconnaissance des terres
La reconnaissance des terres est une pratique traditionnelle des peuples autochtones selon laquelle les personnes ou les groupes se reconnaissent comme des visiteurs aux endroits qu’ils ne gèrent pas. Conformément à cette pratique, nous reconnaissons que la terre sur laquelle la Western Counties Regional Library se trouve aujourd’hui est le territoire ancestral du peuple mi’kmaq, et qu’ils n’ont pas cédé cette terre durant la colonisation européenne de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Bien que nous ne puissions défaire le passé, nous pouvons travailler à créer un avenir qui favorise le respect et l’amitié entre les nations signataires de traités.
Nous reconnaissons et honorons les contributions de L’nu’k, le people autochtone de Mi’kma’ki, et nous nous engageons à faire de la place dans nos collections, nos programmes et nos services pour permettre aux gens d’en apprendre sur l’histoire des traités de paix et d’amitié et sur les relations passées et présentes entre les nations.

Treaty EducationNova Scotia has several historic treaties with the Mi’kmaq that date back to the 1720s, known as the Peace and Friendship treaties. These treaties are still in effect today. In 2015, the Province of Nova Scotia and the Mi’kmaq of Nova Scotia signed an agreement to create a new Treaty Education partnership. The aim of treaty education is to educate people about the Mi’kmaq, their history and culture, the treaties that exist and how treaties have been denied, and pathways forward to reconciliation. In order to support Treaty Education, the staff at Western Counties have compiled this list of resources in order to help people better understand Mi’kmaq history and culture and the treaties that effect us all.
