Hello and Welcome. My English name is Teresa [Santele’s]. I am Mi’kmaq [L’nu] from the unceded traditional lands of the Mi’kmaki, Peace and Friendship Treaty of 1752, part of the Wabenaki Confederation. I am an Indian Act status member of the L’sitkuk First Nations community which is located in what is now known as Nova Scotia, Canada. I am Bear clan.
This award is not just a recognition of our business — it reflects the community that stands behind us. The knowledge shared, the relationships built, and the collective support that makes this work possible.
At Santele’s Healing Circles, our work is grounded in community, guided by lived experience, and supported by those we serve.
We are grateful to @NSITEN, @indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC), @Destination Canada, @Tourism Nova Scotia, @Government of Nova Scotia, @Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), @Indigenous Services Canada, @Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, @Parks Canada, @Nova Scotia Business Inc. (NSBI), @Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), @Export Development Canada (EDC), @Canadian Council for Indigenous Business (CCIB), and all those who continue to support and uplift Indigenous-led tourism, relationship-building, and community-based work.
Wela’lin. Thank you.
