Ta’n Weji-sqalia’tiek - Mi'kmaw Place Names

In 2010, Ta’n Weji-sqalia’tiek Mi’kmaw Place Names Digital Atlas and Website Project (formerly Pjila’si Mi’kma’ki: Mi’kmaw Place Names Digital Atlas and Website Project) was launched to document approximately 13,000 years of Mi’kmaw presence within Mi’kma’ki, the place of the Mi’kmaq, and to raise public awareness of this ancient history. The project was initiated by the Mi’kmaq-Nova Scotia-Canada Tripartite Forum, Culture and Heritage Committee, Place Names Subcommittee, co-chaired by Tim Bernard, Confederacy of Mainland Mi’kmaq, and Rob Ferguson, Parks Canada Atlantic Region.
