Acadia University acknowledges that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq.
This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which the Mi’kmaq, Wəlastəkwiyik, and
Peskotomuhkatiyik Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. These treaties did not implicate or affirm
the surrender or transfer of land to the British, but recognized Mi’kmaq title and set the rules for what was to be
a long-standing relationship between nations. Acknowledging the land that we are on means that we are working
towards decolonization across campus. Acadia University is committed to upholding the spirit and tenets of the
Treaties of Peace and Friendship, as well as respecting the historical and contemporary contributions of African
Nova Scotians to the land, culture, and life of the region.

Acadia University is recognized as one of Canada’s premier undergraduate universities. Acadia offers a
stimulating, vibrant environment, on and off campus, where dedicated faculty inspire and challenge students to
be their best through supportive personalized learning environments, holistic education, and nurturing community
engagement. Academic innovation and a technology-rich teaching and learning environment have garnered the
university a reputation for excellence. Our progressive workplace is located in Nova Scotia’s beautiful Annapolis
Valley. With a progressive commitment to sustainability, the region offers locally-crafted artisan food and
beverage, with many communities embracing organic, fair-trade, and farm-to-table ideals. There is also a small,
but vibrant, francophone community in the Annapolis Valley, and the university campus is situated 6 kms from
Grand-Pré National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that commemorates and celebrates Acadian
contributions to the region.
