Canada’s National Aboriginal Day
Yesterday (June 21st) was National Aboriginal Day in Canada. I’ve been working with the Gespe’gewaq Mi’gmaq Resource Council (GMRC) this year and have learned much about First Nations in Atlantic Canada. This is what GMRC is about:
The vision of the organization is to assist First Nation communities within the traditional district of Gespe’gewa’gi by creating awareness and understanding and gathering support to further sustainable natural resource management. We see a future where we can work together in the bay, manage our resources and have a greater say in how they are managed, while at the same time building cultural bridges with the common goal of effective natural resource management practices.
To learn more, check out the Mi’kmaq Resource Centre at Cape Breton University.
