Today marks Treaty Day, October 1st, a day to acknowledge the Peace and Friendship Treaties signed between the Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqey (Maliseet) Nations and the British Crown in the 18th century, and serves as a reminder of the sovereignty and rights of First Nations, as well as the ongoing modern day legal and political challenges. It is important to remember that these Treaties did not deal with the surrender of land or rights, but rather, a promise to live together in mutual respect and peace. At New Tide, we are committed to acknowledging the importance of these agreements and fostering relationships based on trust, respect, and understanding. We are all Treaty People. We encourage everyone to take time today to reflect on the historical and current significance of these treaties and the steps we can take to uphold them in our work, relationships, and communities.

Let's celebrate International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace (https://lnkd.in/ezNdPJD) with this powerful quote by C.G. Jung: “Under the stress of an extreme abaissement the psychic totality falls apart and splits up into complexes, and the ego complex ceases to play the important role among these. It is just one among several complexes which are all equally important, or perhaps even more important than the ego. All these complexes assume a personal character although they remain fragments. It is understandable that people should get panicky, or that they eventually become demoralized under a chronic strain, or despair of their hopes and expectations. It is also understandable that their will-power weakens and their self-control becomes slack and begins to lose its grip upon circumstances, moods, and thoughts. It is quite consistent with such a state of mind if some particularly unruly parts of the patient’s psyche then acquire a certain degree of autonomy.” (CW3, § 521)
