FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 24, 2020
The Ecology Action Centre (EAC) affirms our support for the inherent right of Mi’kmaq to fish as enshrined in the Peace and Friendship Treaty of 1752[1] and upheld in the Marshall Decision of 1999[2]. Indigenous rights are non-negotiable and must be respected. Mi’kmaw fishers should be able to exercise their right to fish in accordance with Mi’kmaw law without intimidation.
