Vision:
The Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Youth Assembly envisions a future in which Mi’kmaw youth are fully engaged, knowledgeable, and empowered contributors to the governance, cultural vitality, and long‑term well‑being of Mi’kmaw communities. Guided by Mi’kmaw values, language, and teachings, the Assembly seeks to strengthen youth leadership, support informed decision‑making, and uphold our collective responsibilities to the land, our people, and future generations. Through collaboration with the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Chiefs, we strive to cultivate a generation of capable, confident, and culturally grounded leaders who advance the prosperity and sovereignty of the Mi’kmaw Nation.
Purpose:
The purpose of the Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Youth Assembly is to provide a representative and culturally grounded forum through which Mi’kmaw youth can contribute to the governance, well‑being, and future direction of the Mi’kmaw Nation. The Assembly exists to strengthen youth leadership, uphold Mi’kmaw values and language, support informed participation in community and Assembly‑level decision‑making, and foster meaningful collaboration between youth, and the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Chiefs.
