Treaty Day
Signature of Jean-Baptiste Cope (Beaver), Treaty of 1725
According to historian John G. Reid, the treaties of 1760-61, while they contain statements of Mi'kmaw submission to the
British crown, what is known of the surrounding discussions, combined with the strong evidence of later Mi'kmaw
statements, indicates that a friendly and reciprocal relationship was the real intent. The Mi'kmaw leaders who came
initially to Halifax in 1760 had clear goals that centered on the making of peace, the establishment of a secure and well-
regulated trade in commodities such as furs, and an ongoing friendship with the British crown. In return, they offered
their own friendship and a tolerance of limited British settlement, although without any formal land surrender.[1] To
fulfill the friendly and reciprocal intent of the treaties, further British settlement of land would need to be negotiated and,
in exchange for accommodating the existing British settlements, presents would be given to the Mi'kmaq. (There was a
long history of Europeans giving Mi'kmaq people presents to be accommodated on their land, starting with the first
colonial contact.) The documents summarizing the peace agreements failed to establish specific territorial limits on the
expansion of British settlements, but they assured the Mi’kmaq access to the natural resources that had long sustained
them along the regions’ coasts and in the woods. The intent of the treaties began to erode with the arrival of the New
England Planters and United Empire Loyalists. This migration into the region created significant economic,
environmental and cultural pressures on the Mi'kmaq. As their military power waned in the beginning of the nineteenth
century, the Mi'kmaq people made explicit appeals to the British to honour the reciprocal intent of the treaties and the
duty of the British to give "presents" to the Mi'kmaq for occupying Mi'kma'ki. In response, the British offered charity or,
the word most often used by government officials, "relief". And relief always came with strings attached: the Mi'kmaq
must give up their way of life and begin to settle on farms and their children were to be sent for education to British
schools.
THANKSGIVING Thanksgiving Day in Canada has been a holiday on the second Monday of October since 1957. It is a chance for people to
give thanks for a good harvest and other fortunes in the past year.
WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL THE CHILDREN A SAFE HALLOWEEN

Capital Construction/Susan Motty
September came with cool winds and crisp days as we said farewell to a few crew members. They worked hard this summer and it was a pleasure getting to know them. Days here are busy and over loaded with new activities and I'm pleasantly surprised by how everyone tries to push through to get the job done. This is a tight knit community that thrives off our many successes. We are working towards improving Pabineau and I can see it in each of you. Everyone has a gift. Each with their own unique talents and we can use these to build each other up. Things may fall apart but there's always a will and a way to put it back together. Skills initiative crews have successfully completed some of their courses already and are moving forward with bush cutting, clearing of road way and even painting. Soon they will be working on paving the road. Little river crew has progressed greatly this year by leaps and bounds. Water quality testing has been verified by the biologist and last week they actually electro fished. This was a very exciting event with all hands on deck. We caught salmon fry, trout, sucker fish and even an eel on the Little River. These crews work well together and support each other. I hope I can encourage them to succeed in all that they do !!
