Tajikeimɨk - Mi'kmaw Health and Wellness

Tajikeimɨk is the new and developing health and wellness organization leading health transformation for Mi’kmaw communities in Nova Scotia.

Elukuti'kw wjit naji-wlo'ltinenew utanminal. (We are working toward better health for all in our communities.) Health transformation is the process of the Mi’kmaq of Nova Scotia taking control of the design and delivery of their health and wellness services to improve overall health for individuals and communities. Over this multi-year journey, the health transformation process will build on, grow and evolve the health and wellness services and programs used by Mi’kmaw people in Nova Scotia, with a focus on high-quality, culturally safe and wholistic approaches. The Chiefs and Health Directors from the 13 First Nations in Nova Scotia have long been working in their communities, and with Mi’kmaw organizations, to address gaps in health services and improve wellness. This work has created a strong foundation to build health transformation. We at Tajikeimɨk are committed to maintaining a respectful and inclusive community. Rude, inappropriate, or disrespectful comments will be removed, and users may be blocked. Examples of unacceptable behaviour include:

• Offensive language or hate speech
• Personal attacks or harassment
• Discriminatory remarks (racism, sexism, etc.)
• Trolling or inflammatory comments

Let’s ensure this space remains respectful and welcoming for everyone.

Friday, November 14, 2025, marked a special milestone for Tajikeimɨk as we held our first Board meeting under our new governance structure. It was a meaningful step forward in strengthening Mi’kmaw-led health and wellness—created and shaped by our values, our teachings, and our collective mission: Elukuti'kw wjit naji-wlo'ltinenew utanminal (we are working toward better health for all in our communities).

Our Board includes: the 13 Mi’kmaw Chiefs, Grand Chief and Kji-Keptin, the Regional Chief, District Chiefs, representatives from Health Directors, and our Executive Director.

We’re deeply grateful to the Board for their continued leadership, for sharing their voices, and continuing to walk this path with us, as we work to restore and protect the wellness of our people.

The third Tuesday of November is National Grief & Bereavement Day.

Today, we honour the shared journey of loss and healing in our communities.

We all experience grief. For our Mi’kmaw communities, grief can take many forms: losing someone we love, feeling the effects of intergenerational trauma, growing apart from friends or family, or experiencing quiet losses that are not always visible to others.

During these times, our communities come together – sharing food, gathering on the land, supporting one another and taking part in ceremony.
You don’t have to face grief alone.

Contact your local Health Centre to learn about programs, gatherings or other supports available in your community. You can also:
📞Call 211 (toll-free: 1-855-466-4994)
🌐Visit ns.211.ca and search for “grief support”

Today, on Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour and remember the Mi’kmaq, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis veterans who have courageously served and continue to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Their bravery and resilience have protected not only our lands, but our languages, cultures, and ways of life. Many returned home to face inequalities and barriers that denied them the same recognition and benefits as others — yet they continued to serve their people and communities with strength, dignity, and pride.

We honour their sacrifices, their leadership, and the generations of warriors who continue to defend and uplift our Nations.
