If you enjoy the images you find here & on our website, this is your chance to take home high-res versions of your faves. We’ve streamlined the process for orders, made it easier to request images, & have a small collection of our most popular photos (which will keep growing)!

June is National Indigenous History Month. Thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers, the Mi'kmaq called themselves L'nu'k, which simply means 'the people,' 'human beings.' Their present name, Mi'kmaq, derives from nikmaq, meaning 'my kin-friends.' #NIHM2023
