Please Seek Truth and Integrity: For those who need a definition unceded means land was never surrendered. To simply cede something is to give it up or surrender it. The MiKmaq people did not give up land rights through treaties in the current disputes in New Brunswicl. So even if the government says its Crown land - this is just an assumption, not a legal fact. No payment or agreement was ever made. Would you lose your backyard simply because someone set their tent on it for a summer? This whole fight should be a non-issue based on the simplist of things - history. Just because someones tent sits in your yard for 100 years, you still dont lose your backyard or say over what happens in it. Right? I believe there are peaceful solution out there, but know your history, ask questions and seek truth. Here is a quote from the government of Canada website that says there was no land cessions You can find it here: aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1314977704533/1314977734895 or read it below this paragraph. Dont fight a war on false pretenses - I ask all those who are angry to slow down and listen, to do your own research about the history of the area, dont take someones word on it, not even mine. Truth is out there if you seek it. If you dont see it, its because you dont want to look. I am praying for peaceful resolutions to all conflicts at this time and that those who are fighting against the First Nations people will turn and instead fight with them for truth. Because truth needs to be stronger than brute force and capitalism. I pray for integrity, truth and peaceful resolutions. We need to do whats right, not what the angry mobs or angry leaders say we should do. Integrity. Truth. Peace. ~Nadine Peace and Friendship Treaties Events in Europe often had major impact in the New World. The 1713 Treaty of Utrecht ceded the mainland of the Maritimes, or Acadia, to Great Britain, leaving Île Royal (Cape Breton Island) and Île St-Jean (Prince Edward Island) as the sole French possessions in the area. As Great Britain began to organize and exert its authority over its colony of Nova Scotia, it had to contend not only with the remaining French colonists, but also with Frances Aboriginal allies in the region. Fearing Aboriginal peoples alliance with the French, the colonial authority negotiated a series of treaties with the Mikmaq and Maliseet peoples. Through these treaties made between 1725 to 1779, peace and friendship would be assured between the colony and the Aboriginal population. The Mikmaq and Maliseet could benefit from better trade conditions, and the assurance that their religious practices would be undisturbed. On the whole, these treaties were simple agreements with promises of peaceful relations. There were no land cessions whatsoever in the agreements and with the exception of the 1752 and 1760-61 treaties where a specific trade clause was included, these treaties only served to re-establish normal relations between the parties after military conflicts. And here is a definition of cede and uncede: dictionary.reference/browse/unceded When youre reading about unceded territory, it means is was never given up by First Nations people.
