Aurora Borealis over Shubenacadie Grand Lake last night as seen from Wellington, Nova Scotia. I missed out on the reds that appeared overhead earlier in the evening, but got to play with different exposures to see how best to capture the greens on the horizon. It was an impressive display! #aurora #auroraborealis #auroraborealisphotography #wellingtonnovascotia #shubenacadie #grandlake #shubenacadiegrandlake #novascotia #visitnovascotia #cangeo

A #CulturalReclamation is underway in the #Mikmaw community of #Sipeknekatik in what we now call #NovaScotia. The #FirstNation is situated just eight kilometres from the site of the former #Shubenacadie Indian #ResidentialSchool. The #IndianDaySchools operated on the reserve from 1894 to1996. During centralization in the 1940s, the federal government #ForciblyRelocated many #Mikmaq from around Nova Scotia to two reserves, one of which was Sipekne’katik.
Together, these #colonial policies tried to strip Mi’kmaq of connection to land, language, culture & dentity. But the Mi’kmaq are still here, still strong.
#StudentJournalists in the Reporting in Mi’kma’ki course – a collaboration between the University of King’s College & Nova Scotia Community College – headed to Sipekne’katik to learn more.
They met #community members who shared their time & expertise to pass on teachings, from ribbon skirts to medicines to culture & language in the classroom.
