Nova Scotia court rules in favour of Mi'kmaw lobster fishers
CA, 12 Jan 2023
A Nova Scotia judge has dismissed charges against three Mi'kmaw harvesters accused of illegally catching lobster.
First charged in 2018, the three lobster fishermen argued they had a constitutionally protected treaty right to catch and sell fish to earn a moderate livelihood.
Ross Lord explains the significance of the decision, the relief and optimism among the Indigenous community and the next steps some First Nations could take.
