Fieldwork and scoping visit to K’jipuktuk-Halifax, NS, Canada: A Comics-based essay
This comics-based essay is both a report and a methodological exploration produced during my fieldwork and scoping visit to K’jipuktuk-Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, between 18 July and 4 August 2025
K’jipuktuk, which means “Great Harbour” in Mi’kmaw language, forms part of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral land where the Mi’kmaq peoples have lived for over 11000 years. K’jipuktuk-Halifax is also the capital of what today is known as the province of Nova Scotia in Athlantic Canada.
