Hackmatack is based in Kjipuktuk, in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship which Mi’Kmaq and Wolastoqiyik Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. Hackmatack est basé à en Mi’kma’ki, le territoire ancestral non cédé du peuple micmac. Ce territoire est visé par les « traités de paix et d’amitié » que les Micmacs, les Wolastoqiyik (Malécites) et les Passamaquoddys ont d’abord conclus avec la Couronne britannique en 1726. Les traités en question ne comportaient pas de clause relative à la cession des terres et des ressources, mais reconnaissaient de fait le titre des Micmacs et des Wolastoqiyik (Malécites) et définissaient les règles quant à ce qui devait être des relations durables entre les nations.
