====Miꞌkmaq==== [[File:MonumentPeaceTreaty1752.jpg|left|thumb|Monument to the Treaty of 1752, [[Shubenacadie First Nation]], [[Nova Scotia]]]] The [[Miꞌkmaq]] are the [[indigenous peoples in Canada|indigenous peoples]] who lived on these lands for centuries. In the course of their historical relationship with the [[Acadians]], many Miꞌkmaq became Catholic and therefore played an active role in the Acadian resistance to the Protestant British annexation of Hants County. They were clearly supporters of [[Jean-Louis Le Loutre|Abbe LeLoutre's]] work in protecting Acadian and Miꞌkmaq and ultimately Catholic interests in the region. Within Hants County, they fought in the [[Battle at St. Croix]] on the [[St. Croix River (Nova Scotia)|St. Croix River]]. There is a long history of missionary work in Hants County, such as the work of [[Silas Tertius Rand]]'s work on [[Glooscap First Nation]] near [[Hantsport]]. There are still Miꞌkmaq communities in Hants County such as [[Indian Brook 14]] (the home of the famous activist [[Anna Mae Aquash]]) and [[Shubenacadie 13]]. Shubenacadie is the oldest community in Hants County. There is a significant monument in the middle of the reserve to Major [[Jean-Baptiste Cope]], the signatory to the peace [[Treaty of 1752]] with the British, which was recently upheld by the [[Supreme Court of Canada]] (1985).
