Brandon Maloney on Mi'kmaw Treaty Rights

In Episode 79, we talked to Brandon Maloney, a Mi'kmaw warrior, fisher, leader and family man from Sipekne'katik formerly known as Indian Brook First Nation in Mi'kma'ki. He joined us to share what has been happening on the ground in Mi'kma'ki where non-native commercial fisherman are engaged in racist acts of violence, threats, property damage and attempts to stop Mi'kmaw peoples from fishing. He also talks about his community's governance plan for the fishery and how it came from the people.
