EverWind is located on the traditional and unceded territories of the Mi'kmaq, Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet), Beothuk, Innu, and Inuit Peoples of Atlantic Canada. We honour their enduring presence, knowledge, and stewardship of these lands and waters, and we recognize the Peace and Friendship Treaties as ongoing agreements based on mutual respect and coexistence. We are committed to listening, learning, and working toward reconciliation with Indigenous communities across Turtle Island (North America). We also recognize that African Nova Scotians are a distinct people whose histories, legacies, and contributions have enriched that part of Mi'kma'ki known as Nova Scotia for over 400 years.
