Enough is enough. Settlers of Mi’kmaq territory you should be ashamed. I am ashamed of all the racialized settlers who remain silent. We have come to this land with the audacity to think that it is ours?!? It is NOT. This is UNCEDED UNSURRENDERED MI’KMAQ TERRITORY. #Mikmaki 1/5
EVERY benefit we reap from this land is due to the Mi’kmaq nations generosity. WE ARE IN DEBTED TO THEM! THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS SAY SOMETHING ABOUT ABOUT THE WHITE SUPREMACIST TERRORISM THAT IS HAPPENING IN Saulnieville. #ModerateLivelihood #Mikmaki 2/5
Why so silent as you watch white supremacy manifest? Because you benefit off of it. You benefit off of violating Mi’kmaq rights. I am a displaced #pashtun born/raised in #Mikmaki . my oral code taught me abt the love, care and solidarity I am to have with Mi’kmaq people 3/5

The discovery of #coal in #Pictou County is usually attributed to Reverend James McGregor who found it on the East River in 1798. MacGregor, who came to Pictou from Scotland in 1786, had a coal fire burning in his home – a novelty at the time - when he entertained...

We love getting questions about mining, minerals and geology! We were asked about historical copper mining around the #WaughsRiver in Tatamagouche, #CumberlandCounty. See this thread!

There are a number of copper occurrences around #WaughsRiver but only a modest amount of actual mining took place.
After their arrival in #Tatamagouche by 1710, the #Acadians attempted smelting small quantities of copper they found around the North Shore, but with little success. Image
For example, they had a small #copper mine on Mine Hole Brook, where it joined with #WaughsRiver from the west (close to where Black River joins the Waugh from the east).
