Mi’kmaw leaders recognized “unsung heroes” for advancing reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Islanders during an awards ceremony on Friday.

The Epekwitk Assembly of Councils gave four Reconciliation Recognition Awards to individuals and organizations for their education, cultural awareness and community-building efforts across P.E.I.

The awards, handed out every year since 2021, formed part of last week’s Indigenous Awareness Week activities.
