The contested Atlantic shore where Mi'kmaq sovereignty, Acadian roots, and Scottish ambition collided to forge Canada's most fought-over colony.
Nova Scotia — the ancient Mi'kmaq homeland of Míkmaw'ki whose rocky Atlantic coastline and fertile Annapolis valley became the contested borderland of empire where Scottish, French, and English colonial ambitions collided for nearly a century, beginning with Sir William Alexander's royal charter of 1621 that named the peninsula New Scotland and planted a short-lived Scottish settlement before French Acadian farmers transformed the tidal marshlands of the Bay of Fundy through the extraordinary aboiteau dyking system that reclaimed some of the most productive agricultural land in northeastern North America, and whose capital Port Royal changed hands between French and English forces no fewer than six times across eight decades of imperial warfare that made the Acadian settlers masters of a pragmatic neutrality that ultimately failed to protect them from the catastrophic Grand Dérangement of 1755 when British colonial authorities forcibly deported the entire Acadian population in one of the eighteenth century's most devastating acts of ethnic cleansing.
