The province of Nova Scotia is located in the east of Canada and is one of the so-called Maritime Provinces (The Maritimes of Canada). The Canadian province of Nova Scotia consists of the Nova Scotia peninsula and Cape Breton Island. It is connected to the mainland (the province of New Brunswick) by a narrow isthmus. The south and the east coasts are washed by the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of St. Lawrence is located in the north, the Bay of Fundy in the west. Nova Scotia’s territory if bigger than Denmark, but smaller than Scotland.

Before the arrival of colonists, the vast land of Nova Scotia was home to Indian tribes, the most numerous of which was the Mi’kmaq tribe. Their custom to coat the body with red clay was at the origin of the “redskin” term, which is used in reference to all Indians of North America. The majority of the first settlers of this area were likely to be farmers from the western France. Until 1713, Nova Scotia was called Acadia.
