A #CulturalReclamation is underway in the #Mikmaw community of #Sipeknekatik in what we now call #NovaScotia. The #FirstNation is situated just eight kilometres from the site of the former #Shubenacadie Indian #ResidentialSchool. The #IndianDaySchools operated on the reserve from 1894 to1996. During centralization in the 1940s, the federal government #ForciblyRelocated many #Mikmaq from around Nova Scotia to two reserves, one of which was Sipekne’katik.

Together, these #colonial policies tried to strip Mi’kmaq of connection to land, language, culture & dentity. But the Mi’kmaq are still here, still strong.

#StudentJournalists in the Reporting in Mi’kma’ki course – a collaboration between the University of King’s College & Nova Scotia Community College – headed to Sipekne’katik to learn more.

They met #community members who shared their time & expertise to pass on teachings, from ribbon skirts to medicines to culture & language in the classroom.
