Directory of Services for Victims of Abuse in First Nations Communities NEW BRUNSWICK DIRECTORY OF Services for Victims of Abuse in First Nations Communities In 2016, PLEIS-NB created a publication called: New Brunswick Directory of Services for Victims of Abuse that provided a general overview of services for victims. However, it did not capture the full range and diversity of services and resources that may be available in First Nation communities. To address this, the Public Legal Education and NEW BRUNSWICK Information Service of New Brunswick (PLEIS-NB), in collaboration with Victim Services and Public Safety, produced DIRECTORY OF this informative, bilingual and largely online directory for victims of abuse in First Nation Communities. PLEIS-NB is a non-profit, charitable organization that educates the public about the law. It is funded by Justice Canada, Services the New Brunswick Law Foundation, and the Department of Justice and Public Safety. A fillable survey was emailed to all band councils across New Brunswick collecting information, suggestions and for Victims of Abuse in feedback on what should be included in the directory. We conducted research and sought input of many individuals First Nations Communities on potential design features including Gignoo Transition House. We also consulted with the Women’s Equality Branch (ECO) and Aboriginal Affairs Secretariat. Finally, we hosted a brainstorming session (talking circle) with key stakeholders in the Miramichi region where we travelled to meet with service providers, including Domestic Violence Outreach, Aboriginal Victim Services, and the local transition house. There were participants from several nearby First Nations communities. This new Directory offers a variety of traditional services that support victims, such as drumming groups, talking circles and so on. We wish to thank the many individuals and organizations who have contributed to the development of this directory.

    The Dispossession of the Míkmaq Indians from Chignecto to Elsipogtog1: A Case Study Analysis of the Health Determinants of the Physical Environment by Patrick J. Augustine A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous and Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2021, Patrick J. Augustine 1 The community uses the Pacifique orthography, while the Francis-Smith system spells it L’sipuktuk (Sable & Francis, 2012). Abstract Traditionally, the Míkmaq enjoyed an interconnected relationship with the land, harvesting what they needed from the earth and the ocean, guided by the concept of Netukulimk, the practice of sustainability. Upon the arrival of European settlers, new trade practices were introduced, and what was once plentiful was quickly depleted. Although the original inhabitants were assured that their lands would be protected by agreements and treaties, these assurances proved to be false, and the traditional relationship with the land was threatened, as the Míkmaq—presaging the fate of most Indigenous Peoples in Canada—were dispossessed of their historical lands and forced to live on reserves; many of them far away from the environments to which they had had biological and spiritual ties. Land is central to our understanding of current Indigenous health issues; centering around how the Míkmaq traditionally employed land and resources, what changes in that relationship were brought about by colonization, and how their removal to reserves influenced their relationship vis-à-vis their environment. In addressing the ways that land policies, post-first contact, were developed and implemented over time, it is possible and necessary to juxtapose that history with the story of the forced mobilization of the Míkmaq and examine the effects that the dispossession of land had upon their livelihood and economic activity.
