Treaty 3 members are showing their support for Mi’kmaq people in Nova Scotia. Chrissy Swain spoke for members at a rally Friday evening at the junction of the Kenora bypass and the east highway.

Swain says it’s part of a movement across the country.

“It’s still a way of living for everybody. In Grassy Narrows, we still fish, even though that was to be taken from us. It’s a main diet for us, and it’s always been our way of life. It’s the same with the Mi’kmaq people and it’s the same with the Six Nations right across Canada,” Swain said. 

The Mi’kmaq started to fish for lobster this year, in accordance with treaty rights upheld by the courts, but the move has sparked violent protests from commercial fishermen in neighbouring communities
