Welcome to the Union of Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq's official YouTube channel. Viewers can catch a glimpse of the organization's activities, spanning from past endeavors to present initiatives and future plans.

The Union of Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq (UNSM) was established in 1969 to serve as a unified political voice for the Mi’kmaq people of Nova Scotia, in response to a proposed federal policy of assimilation. It was formally incorporated in 1970 under Nova Scotia’s Societies’ Act. Originally known as the Union of Nova Scotia Indians, it was renamed in 2019. UNSM operates according to its original Memorandum of Association from 1970 and its current By-Law adopted in 1992, with amendments made during its 1997 annual assembly.
