CBC Treaty Day interview with Marie Battiste
Great interview with Dr. Marie Battiste on CBC Cape Breton Information Morning today (Sept. 30, 2016).
Marie is editor of Living Treaties: Narrating Mi’kmaw Treaty Relations, published earlier this year.
Marie addressed the ongoing restoration and renewal of relations with Mi’kmaq and the tradition of Treaty Day (held annually in Halifax on October 1).
“The problem has always been that Canada has completely denied the treaties … people grew up without any knowledge of the treaties … yet treaties are the foundation of Canada,” Marie said.

Thanks to CBC for keeping the community well informed.
