History

The Mi'kmaq have inhabited the lands comprising present-day Prince Edward Island for over 10,000 years.[1]

The reserve named Lennox Island 1 is notable for being the first reserve in Canada owned by its people, having been purchased in 1878 by the Aboriginal Protection Society.[2]

The land known as Lennox Island 6 was acquired by the Lennox Island First Nation in 2009.[3]

gollark: Okay, so I seem to have autolost my autocrafting output. Again. Where is it going?
gollark: I'm mostly interested in relatively easy interop with lua and making my stuff less horribly unreliable.
