Nova Scotia is located on Mi'kma'ki, the unceded land of the Mi'kmaw people. Kjipuktuk, called Halifax by settlers, provides clean and fresh water through it's many springs, and hosts a great diversity of both marine and terrestrial life. University of King's College is subject to the Peace and Friendship Treaties of the 1700s, which are still upheld and refer not to the surrender of land by the Mi'kma'ki, but the continued coexistance and relations between settlers and Indigenous people. Mi'kma'ki, along with many other territories in "Canada", are often referred to as unceded, meaning forcefully taken from the Mi'kmaq.
