The Mi’kmaw language has been officially recognized as the original language of Nova Scotia, as Premier Tim Houston joined 13 chiefs in an official proclamation of the Mi’kmaw Language Act on July 17.
“Today was an opportunity to gather in community and celebrate the partnership with Mi’kmaq who co-developed this legislation,” Houston said in a statement on July 17. “This proclamation is another key milestone as we move forward on the path toward reconciliation.”
