StFX, Confederacy of Mainland Mi’kmaq formalize, strengthen collaboration with new agreement

St Francis Xavier University and the Confederacy of Mainland Mi’kmaq have signed an agreement formalizing and strengthening their collaboration. Through this agreement, the two partners will work together to amplify Indigenous knowledge; support treaty education; and build stronger frameworks elevating Mi’kmaq governance, history, and identity at StFX. This will include work related to experiential learning, transformative research alliances, intergenerational healing, and nation-building. “Today is not just a ceremonial moment,” said StFX President Dr Andy Hakin. “It is a meaningful next step in a relationship that has been growing over time—and one that will shape the future of our university and our communities in deep and lasting ways.”
