    Mi’kmaq Celebration

    Pjila'si

    Celebrating culture is a large part of The Games. NAIG 2023 will incorporate Mi’kmaq values, customs and traditions into all spaces of events taking place.

    Since time immemorial, Nova Scotia has been home to the Mi’kmaq people. Mi’kmaq and First Nations people have enriched this province with their oral history, legends, art, music, spirituality, and language.


    What does the logo of the 2023 Games represent?


    The design of this logo is inspired by the Mi’kmaw petroglyphs and was created in partnership with local Mi’kmaq artist Melissa Sue Labrador.

    The image of three figures paddling a canoe in the logo represents First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples and is based on petroglyphs found in Kejimkujik National Park. The Mi’kmaq canoe symbolizes our journey through space and time as Mi’kmaq people as we evolve with the world around us. Having them all together in the canoe, with the forward motion is important.

    The Mi’kmaq canoe is an ocean canoe, versus a lake canoe. We’re surrounded by ocean and the the ocean is very important to our people.
