Shoulder to Shoulder: We Are All Treaty People — Rally in Kjipuktuk/Halifax

Communities across Mi’kma’ki are gathering on Saturday, November 15 at 12 p.m. for a rally on the Halifax Commons (Robie & Cogswell). The event brings people together in support of land and water protectors, including those at Tqamuoweye’katik (Hunter’s Mountain) and other sites where communities are raising concerns about environmental destruction.

This rally centres on a simple truth: Treaty relationships carry responsibilities for all of us. These responsibilities ask us to show up, to protect the places that sustain life, and to ensure that community voices are heard when decisions impact our shared future.

Participants are invited to bring banners, signs, flags, regalia, drums, songs, and prayers as we stand with neighbours, Elders, youth, and families from across Mi’kma’ki.

NSVOW stands in solidarity with all who work for peace, justice, and the protection of land and water.
We encourage our members, friends, and allies to join and show support in whatever way feels right for them.
