Treaty Day in Nova Scotia
October 1
Nova Scotian’s mark Treaty Day to celebrate the rich history, proud culture and important contributions of Mi’kmaq.
These centuries-old treaties honour the enduring bond of friendship and respect between Nova Scotia’s Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities and reaffirm the historic presence of the Mi’kmaw who have occupied the land for thousands of years.
October 1 also marks the beginning of Mi’kmaw History Month in Nova Scotia.
