The Town of Berwick acknowledges we are in Mi’kma’ki – the unceded territory and ancestral homeland of the Mi’kmaq Nation. Our relationship is based on a series of Peace and Friendship treaties between the Mi’kmaq Nation and the Crown, dating back to 1725. In Nova Scotia we recognize that We are All Treaty People.

 

This morning, we were invited to the opening of the Moving Through Medicine Garden, a project of the Annapolis Valley Regional Library located behind the Town of Berwick Town Hall.

Elder Lorraine Whitman performed a smudging ceremony and blessing of the Moving Through Gardens.

Following the ceremony, she was joined by Mayor Don Clarke to raise the Mi'kmaq Grand Council Flag in front of Town Hall.
