7th STEP SOCIETY OF NOVA SCOTIA
We acknowledge that we are meeting in Mi’kma’ki (meeg-ma-gee), the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq
(meeg-mah) People.
We recognize that African Nova Scotians are a distinct people whose histories, legacies and contributions have enriched that part of Mi'kma'ki known as Nova Scotia for over 400 years.
As we work through the 7 Steps to Freedom, we commit to the work it takes to create a culturally safe, inclusive and anti-racist culture within our 7th Step street group meetings each and every week.
We acknowledge the equality of all communities and we encourage respect and kindness toward these communities in our meetings and in our daily lives.
