We're extremely grateful to have hosted the brilliant Mi'kmaw historian Mercedes Peters last Friday. It was a full house at the NB Sports Hall of Fame, where - in a lovely coincidence - Mercedes' dad Jason Peters is honoured for his contributions to Indigenous sports!
We join many others across the homelands of the Wabanaki Confederacy today to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the signing of the Peace and Friendship Treaty of 1726.

Very exciting!!
Canada's archives are in trouble and so is its history - there have just been too many cuts by both Conservative and Liberal governments.
