Land Acknowledgement

Wonder’neath’s work is based in Mi'kma'ki, on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources but recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) titles and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. We, as treaty people, are responsible for upholding the fundamental rights of the Mi’kmaq as promised in the Peace and Friendship Treaties. We aim to listen to Indigenous voices and actively participate in the reconciliation process. We acknowledge African Nova Scotians as a distinct people whose significant cultural, historic, and artistic contributions have shaped the communities in which we work for over 400 years.
