June is Indigenous History Month. Did you know that over 400 Mi'kmaq signed up and enlisted in WWI, WWII, and the Korean War? Yet First Nations people weren't recognized as Canadians until 1956, and weren't allowed to vote in provincial/federal elections until 1960. This means…

Weta'peksi means "where I come from", which is not only a geographical place, but a place of knowledge, culture, & identity. I share the slide in presentations. I come from basket makers & knowledge-carriers (mom), Grand Chiefs (Kji Saqmaq Denny & Sylliboy) and Chief (dad).
