Pamela Palmater: Mi’kmaw fishers threatened with violence [video]

Photo from the petition, "Help Nova Scotia Natives Keep Their Right to Fish." https://www.change.org/p/justin-trudeau-help-nova-scotia-natives-keep-their-right-to-fish

In this video, Pamela Palmater talks about the historical and legal context to the current Mi’kmaw State of Emergency declared by the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs due to the racist and violent attacks by non-native fisherman against Mi’kmaw fishers. Palmater also talks about the legacy of Donald Marshall Jr., whose court case resulted in a Supreme Court of Canada decision upholding our treaty right to fish and sell it.
