Mi’kmaw educator shares history, language and culture on X for Indigenous History Month – The Coast Halifax
Jarvis Googoo posts daily educational digests for those living in Nova Scotia Mi’kmaki
It all started with Mi’kmaw History Month in 2016.
Jarvis Googoo had shared a piece of Mi’kmaw trivia each day that October. On the final day, Oct. 31–his birthday–Googoo shared a story on X, then known as Twitter, about his experience attending his cousin’s high school graduation in his home community of We’koqma’q in Unama’ki/Cape Breton, earlier that June. Significantly, June is celebrated as Indigenous History Month in Mi’kma’ki Nova Scotia and across the country, as it has been since 2009–though at the time it was called National Aboriginal History Month.
