Treaties

Mi'kmaq rights Initiative Video


     The Mi'kmaq Rights Initiative video helps give knowledge on what is happening about Mi'kmaq rights and treaties. The video shows how people are trying to get Mi'kmaq rights and treaties recognize and how they are . The team involved are negotiators, researcher and Mikmaq advisors they call themselves The Assembly Of Nova Scotia they do not make any decisions without the consent of all 15 chiefs of Nova Scotia. 
The Assembly and the Chiefs of Nova Scotia have five pillars that they are excersing and they are:

1. achieve recognition, acceptance, implementation and protection of treaty, title, and other rights of the Mi'kmaq in Nova Scotia;
2. develop systems of Mi'kmaq governance and resource management;
3.revive, promote and protect a healthy Mi'kmaq identity;
4.obtain the basis for a shared economy and social development; and
5. negotiate toward these goals with community involvement and support.

     With having these five pillars the assembly and chiefs are on the right path on reaching all 5 pillars and once all five are reached it will be a huge deal for all the Mikmaq people in Nova Scotia and many people will be satisfied with the results.
