"Yes, I was really upset when they renamed Fort #Cornwallis to Fort #Washington, and took down the statue of General #Tojo at Pearl Harbor." I'm sure you can guess the context.

Mi'kmaw elder, activist, historian and author Daniel Paul has died. He was 84. Paul advocated for renaming landmarks named after Edward Cornwallis. The British governor of Nova Scotia issued a proclamation offering a bounty for Mi'kmaw men, women and children in 1749, the same year he established Halifax. As part of #reconciliation we should rename these landmarks with Mi'kmaq language names. #indigenous #mikmaki #novascotia #cornwallis
