LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Sappyfest acknowledges, respects, and recognizes that we operate within the unceded, traditional, and ancestral homelands of the Mi’kmaq Nation in the Siknikt district of Mi’kma’ki. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” signed between the British Crown and the Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqiyik/Wәlastәkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples beginning in 1725. It is important to explicitly state that these treaties recognized Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqiyik, and Passamaquoddy titles and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations, but did not deal with the surrender of lands, waters, and resources, all of which were never ceded. We are all treaty people and have a responsibility to respect the past, present and future custodians of this unceded and unsurrendered territory. We also recognize that land acknowledgments are a first step in reconciliation and that a future rooted in peace, friendship and care requires ongoing education, addressing injustices, and relationship building.
