[BNS_members] Suggest Names for the New BNS Publication- Prize for the Winner!

[gconway at culture-connection.net]

I've been following the discussion with great interest. I really like The Jijuktu’kwjek Journal that has been suggested along with a description of what it means and the ceded territory statement as someone earlier suggested. 

However, there is a fine line between being supportive of a culture and appropriating it. In order to use a name like this it would be vary important to consult with the appropriate Mi’Kmaq and maybe even discuss some type of collaboration.

If using that name isn't appropriate then I'd suggest "The Blomidon Naturalist Journal" it's simple, easy to remember and clearly describes what it is and then perhaps, as someone suggested, a Mi'Kmaq translation below or on the inside page.

All the best.
