People in the Living Skies region of the United Church have an ongoing relationship with the Treaty Land Sharing Network (TLSN), which seeks to honour what Treaty 4, negotiated 150 years ago, promised. This includes access to land.
In this short video, Michelle Brass of Yellow Quill First Nation, and Nettie Wiebe of Maida Vale Farms and the United Church in SK, discuss how government policies have made access to land more difficult and more dangerous, and what members of the Treaty Land Sharing Network (TLSN) are doing about it. Learn more about TLSN and working together to be good Treaty partners at

At the Tatamagouche Centre, supported by Bermuda Nova Scotia Regional Council and Fundy St. Lawrence Dawning Waters Regional Council as well as many Maritime communities of faith, has a long-time site for reconciliation and Indigenous justice work. Currently, it partners with
Wapna'kikewi'skwaq - Women of First Light, a non-profit group led by Indigenous women from Wabanaki Territory with the goal of healing communities, families and society by remembering and returning to the traditional ways of their ancestors. Visit the website to learn more about this work and how you can support it.
