Union of Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq is a tribal organization established in 1969 that provides a unified political voice and shared services for Mi'kmaq First Nations in Nova Scotia. Guided by Mi'kmaq values and tradition, UNSM supports member communities through capacity development, governance and ethics work, advocacy on treaty and rights issues (including a Treaty Rights Protected fishery and participation in a Tripartite Forum with provincial and federal governments), and community-focused health and wellness programs such as Jordan’s Principle, diabetes supports, dietitian services, and home & community care. The organization also administers information governance and data projects for Mi'kmaw and First Nation communities across Atlantic Canada, offers events, newsletters, and employment opportunities, and is headquartered in Membertou, Nova Scotia.
