Mawkim Data Sovereignty Forum
The Union of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq and Data Governance/Mawkim team is hosting the Mawkim Data
Sovereignty Forum on October 22 – 23, 2025 at Delta Dartmouth, Halifax. The forum goal is to provide
data sovereignty information for First Nations communities to reclaim control over their data and
knowledge.
It’s here! Launch of the New Mawkim Website
In Mi’kmaw, mawkim means “to count and record.” For generations, our people have carried the responsibility of protecting stories, knowledge, and truths that shape who we are. This new site is another step forward in carrying that responsibility into the digital age—built to serve our communities with respect, transparency, and care.
