Pjila'si. Welcome.
For thousands of years, the Mi’kmaq People have been stewards of the land, water and resources found on Mi’kma’ki (modern-day Nova Scotia). Located in Millbrook First Nation, our Cultural and Heritage Centre tells the stories of our people, preserves and protects artifacts and advocates for the repatriation of cultural artifacts.
Our centre is open year-round for self-guided exploration and school and tour group visits. We also offer programming and workshops led by and for community members and the general public.
