QHINB acknowledges that the territory that is now referred to as New Brunswick is on the unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq and Peskotomuhkati peoples and that European Colonizers imposed gendered binaries upon Turtle Island, where previously, many forms of gender and sexual expressions had existed.
