SFI is located in Nova Scotia, Mi’kma’ki territory, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people.
This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship,” which did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but established the rules of an ongoing relationship between nations. We are all Treaty people.
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.
