October is Mi’kmaq History Month. This year’s poster, created by the Mi’kmaq History Month Committee, gives recognition to the important role plants have in Mi’kmaw culture and livelihood. Visit https://mikmaqhistorymonth.ca to view a full size version of this years poster, posters from past years and supplemental resources to increase your knowledge and awareness of Mi’kmaq culture. From Mi’kmaq History Month Committee (mikmaqhistorymonth.ca) - From harvesting plants for n...ourishment and healing to the gathering of plants to make art and for use in ceremony, plants are and have always been, an essential resource for the Mi’kmaq. This year’s poster draws on this knowledge and highlights the significance of plants, not just as a source of food but as an integral part of Netukulimk our way of life. Combining ancestral practices with a contemporary point of view, the poster features the four sacred colours and the four sacred plants as the primary motive. The use of traditional knowledge, along with scientific knowledge, helps to improve our understanding of the health and habitats of key plant species and allows us to better protect ecosystems across Mi’kma’ki.
