Membertou Heritage Project Seeks Photos

Wanted: Photos of Sydney Mi’kmaq reserve

SYDNEY — A proposed First Nations heritage complex is looking for old photographs of one of the earliest Sydney Mi’kmaq settlements.

A committee developing a 14,000-square-foot Mi’kmaq heritage interpretive centre in Membertou is asking the public to help in the development of an exhibit about the King’s Road Indian Reserve.

The photographs will be digitally scanned and those who donate photos will receive acknowledgement and a photo credit.

According to the website for the Membertou Trade and Convention Centre, 125 Mi’kmaq were removed from a reserve on the shores of Sydney Harbour by the Canadian government in 1916. The families were eventually relocated to Membertou, the present site of the First Nations community.

The proposed heritage park will include an interpretive centre, an amphitheatre and green space.

For more information, contact Rosalie Francis at 902-429-0549.
