  • The Boundaries of Nationality in Mid-18Th Century Nova Scotia*

    The Boundaries of Nationality in Mid-18Th Century Nova Scotia*

    GEOFFREY PLANK The Two Majors Cope: The Boundaries of Nationality in Mid-18th Century Nova Scotia* THE 1750S BEGAN OMINOUSLY IN Nova Scotia. In the spring of 1750 a company of French soldiers constructed a fort in a disputed border region on the northern side of the isthmus of Chignecto. The British built a semi-permanent camp only a few hundred yards away. The two armies faced each other nervously, close enough to smell each other's food. In 1754 a similar situation near the Ohio River led to an imperial war. But the empires were not yet ready for war in 1750, and the stand-off at Chignecto lasted five years. i In the early months of the crisis an incident occurred which illustrates many of *' the problems I want to discuss in this essay. On an autumn day in 1750, someone (the identity of this person remains in dispute) approached the British fort waving a white flag. The person wore a powdered wig and the uniform of a French officer. He carried a sword in a sheath by his side. Captain Edward Howe, the commander of the British garrison, responded to the white flag as an invitation to negotiations and went out to greet the man. Then someone, either the man with the flag or a person behind him, shot and killed Captain Howe. According to three near-contemporary accounts of these events, the man in the officer's uniform was not a Frenchman but a Micmac warrior in disguise. He put on the powdered wig and uniform in order to lure Howe out of his fort.

    Kisa'muemkewey 1

    Kisa’muemkewey1 By Tuma Young2 Wen Net Nin3 I am the son of the late William Frederick Young and Veronica Phillips, both of Waycobah & later centralized to Eskasoni. My parents later moved to live at Malagawatch reserve where I grew up on my mother’s trapline and lived on the land. We hunted, fished, trapped, and peddled items in different communities in Cape Breton and Northern mainland NS. I graduated from various educational institutions such as the Eskasoni Indian Day School to the James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona. In 2001, I became the first L’nu4 speaking lawyer called to the bar in Nova Scotia. Today, in addition to having a private legal practice with several different First Nations as my clients, I also teach L’nu studies at Cape Breton University. My research interests are primarily in L’nu governance institutions and in Indigenous Peoples Health. Kisa’muemkewey This paper is about kisa’muemkewey and the steps needed to get to kisaknutmaqan5 The closest translation of kisa’muemkewey into English would be the phrase “Treaty Diplomacy”. When thinking about treaties, one has to recognize that there are different diplomatic processes or understandings that lead to the treaty itself. You can think of kisa’muemkewey as the process of treaty making or treaty diplomacy and it can include the actual treaty agreement itself. It is important in not only to think about how to interpret the treaty or to find which interpretation principles apply that will help in understanding the treaty, it is just as important to think about kisa’muemkewey as much as the actual written text of the treaty itself.

  • Treaty Education Framework for Curriculum Development

    Treaty Education Framework for Curriculum Development

    DRAFT October 13, 2017 Nova Scotia Department of Education and Early Childhood Development Treaty Education Framework for Curriculum Development Background This document was created as a result of the commitments made by the Nova Scotia Department of Education and Early Childhood Development in “The 3Rs: Renew, Refocus, Rebuild—Nova Scotia’s Action Plan for Education” to “Include the language, history, and culture of Acadians, African Nova Scotians, Gaels and Mi’kmaq, including Treaty Education, in the grade primary to 12 curriculum”. It was also created because of commitments made in a Treaty Education memorandum of understanding signed between the Nova Scotia government and the Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw chiefs in 2015. In order to meet the commitments to Treaty Education and ensure meaningful integration of Treaty Education into the grade primary to 12 curricula, EECD asked that a structure for Treaty Education be created to direct the development of curricula. Representatives from EECD, MK, and St. FX worked together to create this framework in consultation with elders, knowledge holders, teachers, and stakeholders. Purpose of the Document This document is intended to provide direction for the meaningful integration of Treaty Education into Nova Scotia curricula. The cognitive and emotional development of students was considered when developing this framework, specifically when connecting concepts with grade levels. However, curriculum developers should view the guiding foci and concepts within each grade section as being somewhat fluid. During the curriculum development process, it may be decided that some content would better fit in a grade that is different from the one assigned. Developers can, to an extent, move content based on the curriculum for that grade or on the cognitive and emotional development of students who would be in that grade.

He enjoyed the privacy of wandering down the river with his fly rod or on the ice with a jig. It was where he found peace and joy. Taught to fish as a boy, he told fishing stories throughout his life. Down Skye River, Donald skillfully hand-jigged a sal- mon, dropping it at my feet with a sly smile. I was mesmerized. We feasted. Having had success as an avid food harvester, Donald wanted to secure an income through an activity he enjoyed, one that allowed him to celebrate his Mi’kmaw identity through a respectful relationship with a culturally sig- nificant resource.
