      In recognition of Earth Day (April 22), join us on Qalipu Today this Tuesday, April 21, for a special episode focused on Mi’kmaw teachings about the land. We’ll explore Netukulimk, the Mi’kmaq principle of living in balance with the land—taking only what you need and respecting the natural world. The show will highlight how these teachings continue to guide our communities today, and will include reflections, stories, and a Mi’kmaw word connected to the land.
