This article on Marshall is partially published in Miโ€™kmaq, and the issue also includes a research article by Colin Osmond on the Miโ€™kmaq history of Marigomish in Pictou County. The local context of my new community published in the journal that I love makes this send off especially poignant.

This issue features cover art by Alan Sylliboy from the @stfx-university.bsky.social art collection and a forum drawn from our recent hosting of learning lodges in honour of the 25th anniversary of the Marshall Decision led by my wonderful StFX colleagues Dr. Jane McMillan and Elder Kerry Prosper.

Having just finished my last editorial meeting as co-editor of @acadiensis.bsky.social, I feel bittersweet announcing our latest issue. I am extremely proud of the work we did with Miโ€™kmaq and Wolastoqiyik language publishing over my four-year term as co-editor.

"Overall, we believe that Canadians can, and should, scrutinize Robert Carneyโ€™s past views on schooling for Indigenous Peoples, press Mark Carney to clarify his commitment to truth and reconciliation, and challenge the twisting of truth by residential school denialists."
