Each year, Treaty Day is celebrated on October 1. This day serves as the official recognition of the historic Peace and Friendship Treaties between the Mi鈥檏maq and the Crown. These treaties guarantee the Mi鈥檏maq right to hunt, fish, gather, and earn a reasonable living, and still stand today.

While these treaties sought to achieve a peaceful coexistence, the Mi鈥檏maq were never conquered, and never surrendered, gave up or ceded their land. Mi鈥檏ma鈥檏i is still Mi鈥檏maw territory.

All Islanders are encouraged to recognize we are all treaty people. Being a treaty person means recognizing Epekwitnewaq Mi鈥檏maq Treaty Rights so we can move towards reconciliation together.
