    Oak Island is an island located on the south shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. It is best known for its historical mysteries and treasure hunt culture, particularly the legend of the Oak Island Money Pit, which has attracted treasure hunters for over 200 years. The area that encompasses Oak Island is connected with the Mi'kmaq First Nations people, who have lived in present-day Nova Scotia and Newfoundland for several thousand years.
