Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

As a New Brunswick organization, New Brunswick Business Council acknowledges that it carries out its work on the traditional unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq and Peskotomuhkati peoples.

This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which these nations first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources, but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqey and Peskotomuhkati title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.

In the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, we pay respect to the elders, past and present, and descendants of this land. We honour the knowledge keepers and seek their guidance as we strive to develop closer relationships with the Indigenous people of New Brunswick.
