We know this from the legends passed down through the generations\, but so too from artifacts found within the Acadia First Nation area\, in Kespukwitk. Artifacts collected from archaeological digs on the Mersey River bed\, from Shell Middens in T.H. Raddall Park and findings present in Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site all have provided insights into ancestors who preceded all of us. Our special guests Roger Lewis and Katie Cottreau-Robins from the Nova Scotia Museum will connect the dots which provide the clues to the relationship to the natural world and the characteristics of the Mi’kmaq people\, here within our community. \n7:30-8:30pm: Bonfire Gathering\nCome gather by the oceanside bonfire as we roast a traditional ‘bread’ called Luskinikn that we’ll savour with local maple syrup as we listen to legends and learn the Honour Song guided by Crow Eddie. \nSunday October 14:\n9:30 – 10:30am: Mi’Kmaq Medicine Plant Walk\nJoin Laurie Lacey\, traditional medicine maker\, naturalist\, writer and painter\, of mixed ancestry\, including Mi’kmaq and Irish\, for an interactive stroll of discovery around White Point. Laurie’s knowledge is extensive and sense of humour used in his story telling and sharing of knowledge is always enlightening.\nPlease note RSVP by email to confirm your participation\, space is limited to 20 people. \nAbout our Presenters from Nova Scotia Museum: \nRoger Lewis\, Curator of Ethnology\nHis research interests lie in Mi’kmaw knowledge-practices tied to land and resource use. Roger works closely with Mi’kmaw communities throughout Nova Scotia to gather and record information about their cultural objects. He has a special appreciation of the relationship between Mi’kmaw artisans and the “living objects” they create. “It is important to remember that the maker’s soul breathes within them\, making them more than a simple craft.” He is also excited by the recent resurgence of Mi’kmaw artistic skills – a blending of traditional techniques with a contemporary outlook. \nKatie Cottreau-Robins\, Archaeology Curator\nDr. Katie Cottreau-Robins is our Curator of Archaeology. She loves the hands-on connection to the past that archaeology provides. “With the physical evidence that is collected and studied\, you gain insight into the daily lives of people like you and me.” She enjoys learning things that can’t be found in archives or historical documents. Katie earned her PhD from Dalhousie University in 2012. Her dissertation\, “A Loyalist Plantation in Nova Scotia\, 1784-1800\,” is closely connected to her work at the museum. One of the objects found at the plantation dig site is part of this exhibit. Though Katie’s job has many opportunities to explore the wide range of past cultures and experiences represented in Nova Scotia\, she continues to have a special interest in uncovering the daily lives of the enslaved in the loyalist era.
