Municipality of Inverness County Proclaims October as Mi’kmaq History Month

At the Regular Meeting of Council on October 2, Deputy Warden Lynn Chisholm proclaimed October 2025 as Mi’kmaq History Month in Inverness County.

Established in 1993 by the Province of Nova Scotia and the Mi’kmaq Grand Council, Mi’kmaq History Month celebrates the culture, history, and contributions of the Mi’kmaq people. The month begins on Treaty Day (October 1st), which celebrates the anniversary of the 1752 Treaty of Friendship and Peace.

The Municipality acknowledges that it is located on Mi’ma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq, and recognizes the importance of honouring this connection 12 months a year.

Throughout the month, residents are encouraged to learn more about Mi’kmaq traditions and heritage, and to take part in community events that highlight the role of the Mi’kmaq in shaping Nova Scotia’s past, present, and future.
