**Competition #**: 44603
**Department**: L'nu Affairs
**Location**: HALIFAX
**Type of Employment**: Term
**Union Status**: Exclusion - Non Union - NSPG
**Closing Date**: 22-Nov-24 (Applications are accepted until 11:59 PM Atlantic Time)
About Us
The Nova Scotia Office of Aboriginal Affairs is responsible for coordinating the Province's approach to Aboriginal issues. That includes discussions and negotiations with the Government of Canada and organizations representing Mi'kmaq communities. Much of our work is conducted through the Mi'kmaq-Nova Scotia-Canada Tripartite Forum and the Made-in-Nova Scotia Process.
In addition, the Office has a mandate to increase public awareness and knowledge about the Mi'kmaq and our shared history through the Treaty Education Nova Scotia Initiative. In October 2020, the Province of Nova Scotia renewed its Memorandum of Understanding with Mi'kmaw Kina'matnewey and Millbrook First Nation to work in partnership for the purpose of advancing, supporting, and promoting Treaty Education in Nova Scotia and create opportunities for every Nova Scotian to learn about our shared history in the province and in Canada. This is a long-term, generational process and we recognize that it is important to take the time to build a strong foundation of knowledge and resources by working closely with Elders and education professionals.
Mi'kmaq and Provincial government officials are developing specific treaty education programs and services for the education system, the provincial civil service, and the broader public.
If you are a creative, innovative, solution-focused thinker and collaborator with knowledge and understanding of current Indigenous issues, allyship and reconciliation, excellent communication skills, policy/program skills, and connections to Mi'kmaw community who is searching for a dynamic opportunity, we have an exciting opening for you.

In consultation with the Director of Treaty Education, other staff and senior officials, the Analyst will develop practical options and recommendations to support the Treaty Education mandate, and further advance government initiatives and address current and future needs.
As the Policy Analyst you will cultivate relationships with key Treaty Education partners and manage research projects that assist in a better understanding of the Treaty relationship in Nova Scotia. The Policy Analyst will work with the Treaty Day advisory group as the provincial lead on Treaty Day events; the Mi'kmaw Language Committee on the revitalization of Mi'kmaw language; the Mi'kmaq History Month Committee on provincial event planning and work with internal; and external stakeholders and Mi'kmaq and Indigenous community members.
