Peace and Friendship Treaty Tee — 1752 Hopson & Cope Historical Document Shirt

Some documents changed history. This tee carries one of them.

The 1752 Peace and Friendship Treaty — signed between Governor Peregrine Thomas Hopson and Major Jean Baptiste Cope on behalf of the Mi'kmaq people — is one of the most significant and enduring agreements in Canadian history. It was not a land surrender. It was a covenant of coexistence, mutual protection, and respect. And unlike so many promises made to Indigenous peoples, it was never surrendered.

The back of this tee features the full archival text of the 1752 treaty, printed in crisp, document-style detail. Dense, formal, and powerful — it reads like the public record it is. A promise of seasonal provisions, the burying of past conflicts, and the recognition of Mi'kmaq rights that still hold legal weight in Nova Scotia today.

Wear it to a lecture, a community gathering, a coastal walk, or any moment when you want to carry history close. This is a conversation starter, a tribute, and a quiet act of remembrance — all in one shirt.
