Event description

Step into the land and waters of Kespukwitk (Southwest Nova Scotia) to experience the Mi’kmaw ways of knowing and being that shaped the life of Sam Glode — a Mi’kmaw Knowledge Carrier, treaty protector, veteran, harvester, and guide. Immersive spaces, dynamic soundscapes, and interactive activities invite visitors to see, hear and feel this place, fostering empathy, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of Mi’kmaw teachings, perspectives and values.

Follow Sam’s extraordinary wartime service as a tunneller and engineer, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal. Explore his lifelong commitment to land stewardship, community leadership, and treaty advocacy — a legacy his family and Mi’kmaw communities continue today. And reflect on your own responsibilities to land, community, and future generations.
