1 The Mi’kmaw practice of caring for M'sit No'kmaq represents a kin-relationship with the land, waters and all living beings. Roughly translated it means ‘all my relations’. We have chosen M'sit No'kmaq as lead author to honour the collective and to acknowledge that all stories, learning and language come from the land. We are just the conduit. This follows Mi’kmaw cultural teachings to speak for collective intellectual rights. Other authors are listed alphabetically.
