The Cap-Acadie Chamber of Commerce recognizes that we are in Cap-Acadie, or in Epegoitnag, in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and traditional lands of the Mi’kmaq people.
This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which these nations first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources, but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
We, the staff and members of the board, pay respect to the elders, past and present, and descendants of this land. We honour the knowledge keepers and seek their guidance as we strive to develop closer relationships with the Indigenous people in New Brunswick.
