Mi'kmaq Community

October 1 is Treaty Day in Nova Scotia!

As part of the Treaty Day activities, Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica hosts a Treaty Day Mass at 10:30am.  Archbishop Dunn will preside the Mass while members of the Mi’kmaw community will take part in the various liturgical ministries. At this celebration representatives of the Church, Mi’kmaw chiefs, Grand Council and Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples come together in prayer and friendship.  All are welcome!

Treaty Day was established on October 1, 1986 by Grand Chief Donald Marshall Sr.   This day commemorates the key role of treaties between the Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq and the Crown. The day specifically recalls the Treaty of 1752. The annual ceremony reaffirms the historic presence of the Mi’kmaq who have occupied the land for thousands of years who sought to find friendship and peace with the early settlers. The Mi’kmaq Nation and the Crown exchange gifts to mark each October 1.
