Kespukwitk Conservation Collaborative (KCC) <\/a>
\n“The Kespukwitk Conservation Collaborative (KCC) is a partnership of Mi\u2019kmaq First Nations, Indigenous organizations, non-government organizations, academic institutions, and federal and provincial government departments. We work to improve species at risk and biodiversity conservation in Kespukwitk (Southwest Nova Scotia) through collaborative research, sharing of knowledge and on-the ground actions. The Kespukwitk Conservation Collaborative was established in 2017 in response to increasing recognition of the need for new, innovative approaches that integrate conservation needs for multiple species within an ecosystem-based, adaptive management framework. The approach is strengthened through Etuapmumk, or Two-Eyed Seeing, and acknowledges the benefits of both the Mi\u2019kmaw concept of Netukulimk, and a mainstream science perspective to integrate conservation actions within Kespukwitk.”<\/p>\n

Ta\u2019n Weji-sqalia\u2019tiek: Mi\u2019kmaw Place Names Digital Atlas and Web Site<\/strong><\/a>
\nTa\u2019n Weji-sqalia\u2019tiek: Mi\u2019kmaw Place Names Digital Atlas and Web Site was created to raise awareness of the deep connection the Mi\u2019kmaq have to the landscape of Eastern Canada they call Mi\u2019kma\u2019ki, the place of the Mi\u2019kmaq. Mi\u2019kmaw presence has been continuous for approximately 13,000 years B.P., and continues to the present day, as can be seen by the place names and archaeological information presented throughout this site. According to Bernie Francis, Mi\u2019kmaw linguist and Elder,the Mi\u2019kmaw verb infinitive, weji-sqalia\u2019timk, is a concept deeply engrained within the Mi\u2019kmaw language, a language that grew from within the ancient landscape of Mi\u2019kma\u2019ki. Weji-sqalia\u2019timk expresses the Mi\u2019kmaw understanding of the origin of its people as rooted in the landscape of Eastern North America. The \u201cwe exclusive\u201d form, weji-sqalia\u2019tiek, means \u201cwe sprouted from\u201d much like a plant sprouts from the earth. The Mi\u2019kmaq sprouted or emerged from this landscape and nowhere else; their cultural memory resides here\u2026Ta\u2019n Weji-sqalia\u2019tiek is about a dynamic inter-relationship between the Mi\u2019kmaq and their ancestral landscape\u2014a landscape integral to the cultural and spiritual psyche of the people and their language (Sable and Francis, 2012:17).<\/p>\n

Puktewei: Learning from Fire in Mi\u2019kma\u2019ki (Mi\u2019kmaq Territory)<\/strong><\/a>
\nShalan Joudry, MES thesis. The author takes the reader on her journey to explore the interaction between indigenous and scientific ways of learning about our world.
\nAbstract: Throughout history humans have lived with fires on the land. Land fires over Turtle Island (North America) are influenced by climate, lightning, ecology, and cultural uses. Recently, nonIndigenous governments have sought information about wildfires for land management in relation to forestry, public safety and conservation. Current perspectives about fire behavior, fire ecology and fire history in Atlantic Canada are largely grounded in mainstream science. Little has been researched about Mi\u2019kmaw relationship with fire (puktew) in Mi\u2019kma\u2019ki, the territory of the Mi\u2019kmaq. This relationship is explored through academic inquiry based in culturally-relevant and community-centered priorities and ways of knowing. Learnings were sought from Elders\/Knowledge Holders across three cultural districts in Nova Scotia. Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual relationships with puktew were described. These teachings demonstrate cultural connections to puktew and unique fire regimes in each district. Mi\u2019kmaw research methodologies highlighted cyclical ways of learning and sharing stories back to community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
