About Kwilmu’kw Maw-klusuaqn Negotiation Office (KMKNO)

We work on behalf of the Mi'kmaq of Nova Scotia in discussions with the Province of Nova Scotia and the Government of Canada on how the Mi'kmaq of Nova Scotia will implement their Treaty Rights, as provided by our ancestors in the covenant chain of Treaties signed in the 1700's.

To address the historic and current imbalances in the relationship between Mi'kmaq and non-Mi'kmaq people in Nova Scotia and secure the basis for an improved quality of Mi'kmaw life. KMK will undertake the necessary research, develop consensus positions on identified issues, and create public and community awareness in a manner that supports the ability of the Assembly to fully guide the negotiations and the implementation and exercise of constitutionally protected Mi'kmaw rights. KMK is committed to moving forward at a pace determined by the Mi'kmaq themselves, and to balancing individual First Nations autonomy with the collective Mi'kmaw identity, governance and decision making required to re-institute Mi'kmaq ways of operating.
