Thank you to the Elders and other Knowledge Holders who made themselves available to be interviewed. Without their knowledge, generosity, and patience, this project could not have happened. We are continuing to upload the many videos associated with various place names in Mi’kma’ki. You can view these videos by visiting the Digital Atlas or by following the links below – they cover a range of topics associated with the landscape and offer a first-hand account from Elders living off the land.
