So many of our Wolastoqi members fought in the first, second and Korean wars. Some of our community members also fought in the Vietnam war and more recently some fought in the Iraq war. We honour all those who sacrificed their lives in pursuit of justice and freedom. In this lesson, we dedicate Flanders Field and Soldiers Prayer translated in our Wolastoqey language to our brave, courageous veterans. ​

Land Acknowledgement

We would like to acknowledge that the Wolastoq Language and Culture Center is located on the traditional unceded and unsurrendered territory of Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet). This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship which Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Wolastoqey title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.

"We are directed by the government to tell you that the English have no design to take your country or any of your lands from you: or to deprive you of any of your just Rights or Privileges"
(November, 1720, English Treaty Commissioner).

Note: The treaty Commissioners were appointed by the British Crown to negotiate treaties with Wabanaki nations in the 1700s. The Wabanaki nations included the Wolastoqiyik, Mi'kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscots.
