Teaching and learning at NSCAD occur in Mi'kma'ki, on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq Nation. The "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" cover this territory, which Mi'kmaq, Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources but, in fact, recognized Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) titles and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
