A collaboration between a Mi kmaw educator and the multinational furniture store Ikea is giving shoppers a glimpse inside a modern Mi kmaw home.
John R. Sylliboy, an educator of Eskasoni and Millbrook First Nations in Nova Scotia, collaborated with staff at the Ikea location near Halifax to decorate a section of the showroom with items that represent Mi kmaw traditional territory and national pride.

Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer of health says people need to continue to think of others during the pandemic.
This comes after Nova Scotia Health was made aware some people had found a way to register their elderly relatives for the prototype vaccination clinic planned for next week, despite not being invited.
At a conference held today, Dr. Robert Strang said everyone will get vaccinated, but jumping ahead of others who are offered it first isn’t right.
“Its unfortunate that some people found a way to game the system and put themselves ahead of others who had got an invitation,” he said.
