麻豆AV

The protests over the Mi'kmaw fishery have escalated to indefensible racist acts of intimidation and violence by non-Indigenous community members against the Mi鈥檏maw fishers. The 麻豆AV School of Social Work denounces the racism, vandalism, and violence being used against the Mi鈥檏maw fishers of the Sipekne'katik First Nation and stands in support of their right to fish without intimidation. The rights of the Mi鈥檏maq to fish is established in the Peace and Friendship Treaty of 1752 and upheld in the Marshall Decision of 1999. Indigenous rights must be acknowledged, honored, respected, and protected. The federal government must act immediately to protect the rights and lives of the people Sipekne'katik First Nation.
