Season 6, Episode 1

What\'s the best way to tell people the history of a place? Through the lives of prominent citizens? Battles for control? Its economic ups and downs?

"Nova Scotia\'s Historic Harbours: The Seaports that Shaped the Province" leads us around a coastline brimming with stories, from the earliest Mi\'kmaq activities to the often violent struggles between Europeans for those most desirable locations to build communities.
