Mi'kmaw History Month :This Mi'kmaw History Month, Watch Our Stories Come to Life. The theme of the 2025 Mi’kmaw History Month poster is Storytelling and Storytellers. This year’s theme honours the distinctive and descriptive stories of Mi’kmaw people—stories shaped by the land and waters, rooted in Mi’kma’kik, and passed down through generations. They are not only ways of remembering, but of connecting—to each other, to our ancestors, and to Mi’kmaw knowledge systems that continue to grow and guide us.
