Nujigina’muet – Treaty Education

The Mi’gmaq of Gespe’gewa’gi have occupied the territory since time immemorial and, as the first point of contact with Europeans in Atlantic Canada, are a HUGE part of Canada’s history. The treaty relationships made and broken are crucial to the development of this country and shaped it in ways we still don’t fully understand.

Understanding the history and Treaty rights of the Gespe’gewa’gi Mi’gmaq is essential to learning who we are and how to work collaboratively with each other and with non-Indigenous governments in a meaningful way for the betterment of our nation and citizens.

About MMS

The Mi’gmawei Mawio’mi Secretariat (MMS) is a non-for-profit governmental organization founded over twenty-years ago. The MMS is the administrative body that is responsible for fulfilling the visions and work of the Assembly of the Mi’gmawei Mawio’mi (MM), which is composed of the Chiefs and Councillors of Gesgapegiag, Gespeg, and Listuguj.

On August 4th, 2000, the signing of the Political Accord took place in Listuguj where Leadership, elders and community members gathered to witness the historical event. It was through the vision and leadership of the people that a strategic alliance was formed to recognize and protect the unique relations of the Mi’gmaq existing since time immemorial.

Today, Mi’gmawei Mawio’mi is still fulfilling the original mission and purpose through it’s Gespegewa’gi Management Plan, the Tripartite Negotiations with Quebec and Canada, and various events hosted by Citizen Engagement.
