The most important thing you can do is tell us how you would like to see these
negotiations turn out. Let us know what you want and what is important to you.
Tell us what you are concerned about, and how you’d like to see these
events affect your children and their children.
The Mi’kmaq Rights Initiative is for you. We want to make sure we know
how you want us to proceed, and that we hear your ideas for solutions that work
for everyone.
You can come to community presentations, and ask questions and tell us your
opinion. You can send us your comments by mail or email. You can go to the website
for more information. You can think about it and talk to your neighbours to
come up with ways to make it work.

The Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq first presented their claim for Aboriginal Rights to the federal government on April 25, 1977. In an historic and symbolic ceremony on the Eskasoni Reserve, a 400-page document was passed over to Indian Affairs and Northern Development by 12 Micmac Chiefs on behalf of our registered population of about 5,000 at that time. |
