We spent an excellent weekend with Elders, community members, and scholars thinking about what it means to do engaged research in "Atlantic Canada" from the margins created by settler colonialism and white supremacy.

It was grounding, challenging, exciting, and we can't wait for what comes next.

Our thoughts and hearts are with the children, but also, here on unsurrendered Wəlastəkwey territory, we re-commit to a community-oriented, anti-colonial intellectual and political project that prioritizes understanding "Atlantic Canada" from the margins and recognizes Indigenous sovereignty.

If you time it right during a Partridge Island Beach tour you can see the bubbling tide and learn the Mi’Kmaq legend of Glooscap Grandmother's cooking pot. This is Fundy Geological Museum’s Regan Maloney.

Today’s post is a continuation of our Queering Atlantic Canada Series. Jess Wilton explores the life of Erica Rutherford in Prince Edward Island.

Read it here: activehistory.ca/blog/2025/06...
Green background, white text quoting: “In times of increasing violence against trans and genderqueer folks around the world and anti-trans sentiment in the Maritimes specifically, it is even more necessary to explore these historical roots and highlight the histories of our communities.” Underneath it says “Jess Wilton” in white text and has a white Active History.ca logo in the bottom right corner.

Today’s #MuseumWeek theme is #AccessibilityMW. The Nova Scotia Museum developed an overarching accessibility plan that will guide us to become more accessible. Each of our 28 sites will use this plan to develop their own plans based on accessibility needs.
