If you're in Fredericton next Monday, March 16th, don't miss the screening of Julien Cadieux's important new documentary, "Les mains du monde," looking at the lives, aspirations, and struggles of migrant workers in Acadian New Brunswick.
Sophie Lavoie, @nbmediacoop.bsky.social has done some fantastic coverage of our events:
See her article on Mi'kmaw historian Mercedes Peters' talk, "'She Didn't Leave Anybody Out': Rita Smith, Mi'kmaw Family, and the Coming Together of Glooscap First Nation."

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.
