For generations, our ancestors have entered into treaties with other Nations in a long tradition of relationship-making. These relationships, based in ceremony and consensus, protected our ways of life and honoured reciprocity.
This year’s poster explores these concepts and highlights four major themes; Ceremony and Consensus, Peace and Friendship, Denial and Damage, and Renewal and Reconciliation.
Throughout the poster, users will be able to explore Mi’kmaw treaty-making, the Covenant Chain of Treaties, and important facts about key treaties and their protectors.
We are all responsible to the treaties, and without oral histories, there would be no treaty rights today.
