Kejimkujik: Mi’kmaw water landscapes and living care

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

The public history describes camps and water-related food work within a broader landscape, not an isolated or empty wilderness. The management plan gives Mi’kmaw voices and contemporary connections a central role; management targets are not already completed outcomes.

Living cultural-landscape and waterwork context Several millennia of documented activity; individual contexts dated separately Camp traces, fish-weir evidence, public Mi’kmaw histories and management accounts Caledonia, Nova Scotia (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound, underwater wreck or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, fishing, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting, harvesting or travel permission is implied.

Caledonia, Nova Scotia is modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Seasonal activities and shared landscape use do not imply one unchanging regional institution.

Organisation politique et échelle communautaire

Seasonal activities and shared landscape use do not imply one unchanging regional institution. Kejimkujik public interpretation does not authorize petroglyph locations, restricted stories or harvesting advice; archaeological dates cannot determine Mi’kmaw membership.

Transformation coloniale, patrimoine vivant et réception moderne

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Archaeological materials do not identify every ancient speaker. Living language communities, self-designations, recognition and membership authority remain distinct. Events after 1700 CE and modern research, conservation and stewardship are dated separately from the main historical context.

Several livelihoods The public history describes camps and water-related food work within a broader landscape, not an isolated or empty wilderness.

Séquence historique

Uma cronologia breve e documentada

Ces repères servent d'orientation et ne constituent pas une histoire complète.

  1. Seasonal activity

    The historical interpretation describes several millennia of activity without dating every feature alike.

  2. Uneven colonial change

    The public account discusses disruption while retaining Mi’kmaw presence rather than an extinction narrative.

  3. Cultural-landscape recognition

    The plan identifies modern national recognition as distinct from ancient occupation.

  4. Shared-care priorities

    The plan sets stewardship and interpretation objectives, not a new archaeological phase.
