**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.
