Empowering Futures: Our Mission and Vision
Our Vision
‘L’nu’egati’ or ‘Lnnu’egati‘
The spirit of our people as L’nu and how that extends and encompasses the land, waters, and all beings.
Our Mission
MTI works to advance our mission through trilateral negotiations and ensuring all information is considered when determining the potential impacts from any proposed projects in the territory of the Mi’gmaq. We will conduct assessments that will determine the level of consultation needed and completing the necessary reviews, such as impact assessments and Indigenous Knowledge Studies.
