CPRS-NS acknowledges that our members live and work in Kjipuktuk (Jeh-book-dook) and throughout
Mi’kma’ki (Meeg-ma-gee), the unceded traditional and ancestral homelands of the Mi’kmaq people.
The Maliseet and Passamaquoddy First Nations also have traditional territory in Mi’kma’ki. 
 
CPRS-NS also acknowledges that people of African descent have been in Nova Scotia for over 400 years. We honour and offer gratitude to all those ancestors of African and First Nations descent who came before us to this land.
 
Land acknowledgements and recognition statements like these are important and ongoing ways to recognize the unique and enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous Peoples and their traditional territories.
