Commemorating
the man and the Nation

This stamp (Scot t#2226) commemorates both Chief Henri Membertou, but also is a reminder of the rich history and vibrant culture of the L'nu of Mi'kma'ki.
"Aboriginal people have always played significant roles in Canada's history. The spread of the fur trade, for example, and European exploration and settlement would not have been possible without the help of the First Peoples, who were relied upon for their knowledge and experience. Chief Membertou's pivotal role in ensuring the survival of French settlement in eastern Canada made him a natural choice to be featured on the fourth stamp of Canada Post's five-stamp French Settlement in North America series."
