2026 Mi’kmaw History Month poster celebrates lifelong healing journeys

A vibrant new poster titled “Nepisulti’k — We Are Healing” launches Mi’kmaw History Month (MHM) this October, inviting people across Mi’kma’kik to reflect on healing as a lifelong journey—one rooted in understanding ourselves, our histories, our relationships, and our connectedness to one another.

The heart of this year’s theme comes from teachings shared by the late Elder Murdena Marshall, whose guidance continues to shape cultural learning across Mi’kma’kik.

Healing and health are not something a person achieves, Elder Murdena taught, but rather a journey that people live every day. Healing is an ongoing process, she said, one that takes courage and is unique to each person.

The 2026 poster and supporting videos feature Antle and Friends, characters created by Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey.
