Generally, I learned that there is a difference between Aboriginal Law and a Treaty right. I always assumed they were the same thing but yet I never really put much thought into it.
I believe that our future generations will have to continue to prove that we are the rightful owners to this land.
Its because of oral history that the courts are giving us the opportunity to prove that we have rights to the land and its resources.
Because the courts have seen that we are able to prove that the land is ours they want to negotiate things to prevent us from taking all benefits away from them by creating by-laws.
We have to write down all that we can about our history and culture in order for future negotiations.
I would like to see Mi'kmaki celebrated and appreciated by all Canadians. I would wish that our treaty rights and Aboriginal rights will be greatly respected.
I just enjoy learning about my culture so theres nothing really specific, I enjoyed watching all the clips the most because I got to see stories that I had only heard about long time ago.
