		<description><![CDATA[In a stern tone reminiscent of his late father Alex Denny, Mi&#8217;kmaq Grand Council member Andrew Denny asked a single question that would set the tone for his speech to mark the 25th anniversary of Mi&#8217;kmaq Treaty Day celebrations in Halifax Monday. &#8220;Has 25 years been enough?&#8221; he asked the people and the dignitaries who gathered in Province House. They included  Premier Darrell Dexter, Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, Mayann Francis, and Ian Gray, Regional Director General for Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada. &#8220;I stand before you as my father did before me and ask, &#8216;How many years will it take for the spirit and intent of our treaties to be implemented? How many more years shall I stand before various governments and call for a true treaty partnership, a sincere treaty reconciliation process and a trustworthy relationship based on the fulfillment of the treaty obligation and an end to Mi&#8217;kmaq poverty?&#8217; &#8221; Grand Keptin Denny asked. In his speech during the afternoon portion of the ceremonies, Denny hinted that on-going treaty talks between Nova Scotia Mi&#8217;kmaq leaders and both levels of governments may not be progressing as well as he had hoped. &#8220;A better treaty partnership is needed,&#8221; Denny [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a ceremony to mark the anniversary of what’s considered to be a 400-year-old political alliance the Mi’kmaq made with French and the Vatican. Approximately 500 people gathered near the shoreline at Port Royal National Historic Site in Annapolis Royal, N.S. on Thursday to witness the re-enactment of Mi’kmaq Grand Chief Henri Membertou’s baptism into Roman Catholic religion on June 24, 1610. The event is considered to be the first time an aboriginal person in North American was baptized into Christianity. It also formalized a friendship and an alliance between Membertou’s followers and the French settlers at the Port Royal Habitation. The current Mi’kmaq Grand Chief Ben Sylliboy was joined by most of the 44 members of the Mi’kmaq Grand Council, the traditional government of the Mi’kmaq Nation, for the ceremonies. Other dignitaries included Rick Simon, Assembly of First Nations Vice-Chief for Nova Scotia and PEI, Peter Newton, Warden for Annapolis County and Vickie Conrad, NDP MLA for Queens. The ceremony began in the morning with a two-hour outdoor mass that was held underneath a tent. Archbishop Pedro Lopez Quintana, the Pope’s representative in Canada, joined several other Church representatives from Atlantic Canada in the mass which was read [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The accomplishments of Nova Scotia Mi&#8217;kmaq youth and elders were acknowledged during Mi&#8217;kmaq Treaty Day celebrations in Halifax on Thursday. Eight people from six Mi&#8217;kmaq communities in the province received awards during the Treaty Day ceremony held at the World Trade and Convention Centre. &#8220;I would like to congratulate all of you here today who will receive an award this afternoon,&#8221; Premier Darrell Dexter said during his Treaty Day address. &#8220;Your communities and all Nova Scotians commend you for your accomplishments. You should feel proud of your contributions,&#8221; he said. Respected elders and educators Noel Doucette from Indian Brook and Helen Sylliboy from Eskasoni were the recipients of the Grand Chief Donald Marshall, Sr. Elder Award. The award was established in 1993 by then Premier John Savage to honour Mi&#8217;kmaq elders&#8217; contributions to their respective communities. Four young people were presented with the Chief Noel Doucette Memorial Youth Award. They were Sara Abram from Millbrook, Robert Francis Julian from Paq&#8217;tnkek, Adam Edward Gould and Zaccharary Evander Michael Paul from Membertou. The award was also introduced by then Premier John Savage in 1997 to honour the late Noel Doucette who served as chief of the Chapel Island First Nation. The award [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mi&#8217;kmaq leaders urged the federal and provincial governments to help pay for commemoration ceremonies to mark the 400th anniversary of the baptism of Grand Chief Membertou in Annapolis Royal, N.S. next year during Treaty Day celebrations in Halifax on Thursday. &#8220;I call upon the premier and Canada to help the Mi&#8217;kmaq Association of Cultural Studies &#8230; to plan and set aside money for these celebrations,&#8221; Grand Keptin Denny said during his address at the World Trade and Convention Centre. Grand Chief Membertou was believed to be over 100 years old when he and several other family members were baptized into the Roman Catholic religion on June 24, 1610. The result of Membertou&#8217;s baptism, which took place at Port Royal, N.S., was that all Mi&#8217;kmaq people converted to Catholicism. &#8220;We may never know exactly why he chose this path for many,&#8221; Denny said in his speech. &#8220;He did leave us with a legacy and a tradition in the profession of thinking ahead,&#8221; he said. Membertou Band Chief Terrance Paul said the historic event is a shared history for both Mi&#8217;kmaq and Nova Scotians. &#8220;The importance of this event cannot be overstated,&#8221; Paul said during his speech. &#8220;It provides an important milestone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The legacy left by the late Mi&#8217;kmaq Grand Chief Donald Marshall, Sr. and his son, Donald Marshall, Jr. was honoured during Mi&#8217;kmaq Treaty Day celebrations in Halifax on Thursday. &#8220;I&#8217;m so glad to see so many people come here this year,&#8221; Ben Sylliboy, Grand Chief of the Mi&#8217;kmaq Grand Council, told more than 600 people who gathered at Grand Parade Square shortly before noon. &#8220;I remember in &#8217;86 when (Donald Marshall, Sr.) started having this Treaty Day celebrations, there were only a few people,&#8221; he said. In 1986, the late Grand Chief Donald Marshall, Sr. proclaimed Oct. 1 as Mi&#8217;kmaq Treaty Day following the 1985 Supreme Court of Canada ruling in James Simon hunting rights case. In it, the highest court ruled that Mi&#8217;kmaq people have a treaty right to hunt under the Peace and Friendship Treaty of 1752 signed between the Mi&#8217;kmaq and the British Crown. The treaty calls for a gathering to take place every Oct. 1 to renew friendships and exchange gifts. In September 1999, his son, Donald Marshall, Jr. celebrated his own court victory when the Supreme Court of Canada overturned his conviction of catching and selling eels without a license. In the ruling, five of [...]]]></description>
