Ta'n me'j Tel-keknuo'ltiek: How Unique We Still Are
Explore the Maritime Museum and our shared maritime heritage and marine history! Galleries and exhibits will be open on the main floor, including our continuing exhibit, Ta’n me’j Tel-keknuo’ltiek (Da’n mej Del-geg-new-ol-tee-egg): How Unique We Still Are which reflects how Mi’kmaw people remain connected to the lands and waters of Mi’kma’ki.
This exhibit offers a platform for Mi’kmaw people to express their continued experiences with an understanding of the lands and the waters of Mi’kma’ki. Mi’kmaw single-word concepts are represented through personal testimony and histories of individual Mi’kmaw people, featured objects, artifacts, images and symbolic artwork. These experiences and understandings are rooted in cultural expressions that connect past, present and future in this place.
This exhibit has been translated into Mi’kmaw using the Smith/Francis orthography. Throughout the translation process, the French and English versions have been changed as necessary to more accurately capture Mi’kmaw perception of the concepts presented.
Ta'n me'j Tel-keknuo'ltiek: How Unique We Still Are offers the visitor, especially the non-Indigenous Canadian public, opportunities for fundamental treaty education, and to learn about the truths that must precede reconciliation.
