Land Acknowledgement
ISANS acknowledges that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded past and present territory of the Mi’kmaq people. We are all treaty people.
At ISANS, as we help settle newcomers to Nova Scotia, we also teach them about the history and rights of Indigenous Peoples in Mi'kma'ki. We honour the enduring presence and contributions of the Mi'kmaq people, and we are dedicated to fostering meaningful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.
African Nova Scotian Affirmation
We also acknowledge that people of African descent have been in Nova Scotia for over 400 years, and we honour and offer gratitude to those ancestors of African descent who came before us to this land.
