Whenever difficulties arose (fires, conflicts, epidemics and so forth), the nuns called upon their network of contacts to help them reestablish their institutions, and then help them flourish. They returned the favor whenever the opportunity presented itself. For almost four centuries their relationships with political and military authorities, civic and religious organizations, and merchants, as well as artists and artisans from here and afar, attested to their commitment to mutual assistance.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;11256,11258&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; wrap=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1623806529435{margin-right: 10px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Mi\u2019kmaq-inspired box&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%23a18526&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1627325374500{margin-bottom: 13px !important;padding-right: 2vh !important;padding-left: 2vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1627325452648{padding-right: 2vh !important;padding-left: 2vh !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Bark, porcupine quills, spruce root, wood and dye\r\nArtisan made\r\n19<sup>th<\/sup> century\r\n9 x 16 x 14 cm<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Made of birch bark, stitched with spruce root and decorated with porcupine quills, this box is an expression of the relations between the Ursulines and the First Nations people.
