Context

Struts Gallery is located on the unceded ancestral lands of the Mi’kmaq Nation. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which the Mi’kmaq Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. We acknowledge, honour, and pay respect to the traditional owners and custodians of this land.
