Ta'n me'j Tel-keknuo'ltiek:
How Unique We Still Are
Ta'n me'j Tel-keknuo'ltiek: How Unique We Still Are, reflects how Mi’kmaw people remain connected to the lands and waters of Mi’kma’ki. This exhibit offers a platform for Mi’kmaw people to express their continued experiences with an understanding of the lands and the waters of Mi’kma’ki. Mi’kmaw single-word concepts are represented through personal testimony and histories of individual Mi’kmaw people, featured objects, artifacts, images and symbolic artwork. These experiences and understandings are rooted in cultural expressions that connect past, present and future in this place.

Carrying Through: Mi’kmaw Women Educators Shaping Our Past, Present, and Future
Tuesday Night Talk, March 25, 6:30 pm
Mi’kmaw education has come about from the tireless advocacy and strength of Mi’kmaw women educators in the 20th century. Women like Elsie Charles Basque, Sister Dorothy Moore, Phyllis Googoo, Mali-Ellen Googoo, Becky Julian, Patsy-Paul Martin, Lillian Marshall and Murdena Marshall continue to lead with their love for their language, culture, and communities, making historic change in our education systems that continues to ripple into the present.
Guest presenter Mercedes Peters (Glooscap First Nation) is the Sharing Our Stories Coordinator at the Mi’kmawey Debert Cultural Centre.
