Mi'kmaq parliamentarians call for co-managed Indigenous fishery in Nova Scotia

Three Mi'kmaq parliamentarians says Ottawa should create a co-managed Indigenous fishery off Nova Scotia as a long-term solution to conflicts between First Nations and non-Indigenous fishers in the lobster harvest.

The proposal comes from Sen. Dan Christmas, a former chief of the Membertou First Nation in Cape Breton, Sen. Brian Francis, of Abegweit First Nation in Prince Edward Island and Jaime Battiste, a Liberal MP from Nova Scotia.

Christmas said in an interview this week the trio held discussions last Friday with Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan and Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett to push their proposal.

The effort comes amid the launches of multiple Mi'kmaq lobster fisheries, each tied to the 1999 Supreme Court of Canada decision stating Donald Marshall Jr. had a treaty right to fish for eels when and where he wanted, without a licence.

The Marshall decision said the Mi'kmaq, Maliseet and Passamaquoddy bands could hunt, fish and gather to earn a "moderate livelihood," though the court followed up with a clarification two months later, saying the treaty right was subject to federal regulation for conservation purposes.

The Sipekne'katik First Nation opened their lobster fishery in St. Marys Bay last month, provoking criticisms from non-Indigenous fishers who argue fishing outside of the normal season violates federal rules -- and the second part of the Marshall decision.

The Sipekne'katik fleet includes 10 boats with 50 traps each, which is equivalent to the catch of about two of the roughly 944 commercial lobster licences granted to non-Indigenous harvesters in the area.

Meanwhile, Mi'kmaq lobster harvesters from the Potlotek First Nation in Cape Breton were planning on taking to the water in St. Peters Bay on Thursday under their own fishing plan, outside of the regular commercial season.

Christmas said the Mi'kmaq leadership is largely dissatisfied with the current federal Fisheries Department method of seeking individual deals with bands.

"The current path isn't working after 21 years of waiting for action and the last three years of negotiations," the senator said.

The Mi'kmaq leaders point to the successful implementation of a co-managed education system in the province adopted by 12 of 13 of the Mi'kmaq First Nations as a model.

"We've governed our own education system for 25 years, and we think developing a similar model for the fishery would have equal success," Christmas said. He also argues that talks on the fishery issue should shift from the federal Fisheries Department to Indigenous Relations, under Bennett's leadership.

Meanwhile, Battiste's office posted a letter signed by the three Mi'kmaq parliamentarians saying they favour an "Atlantic First Nations Fisheries Authority" to oversee their moderate livelihood fishery.

Neither minister was available for comment on the proposal.

However, a spokesman for a group of commercial, non-Indigenous fishers in western Nova Scotia says Mi'kmaq leaders need to recognize the Marshall decision clearly refers to the federal Fisheries Department as the regulator of the resource.

Colin Sproul, president of the Bay of Fundy Inshore Fishermen's Association, said the Supreme Court was unambiguous, citing it from memory.

The November 1999 clarification by the court said: "The paramount regulatory objective is conservation, and the responsibility for it is placed squarely on the minister responsible and not on the Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal users of the resource."

Sproul said he is calling, "for two-way respect for the decision."

Still, Christmas said he remains convinced the creation of a co-managed Mi'kmaq fishery, where Indigenous communities have oversight of a moderate livelihood fishery, will eventually be seen as the wisest way forward.

"If we try a different approach, a different model we'd be able to solve these problems and get some certainty on the water," he said.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 1, 2020.

Ellis Marsalis, Jr.

Ellis Louis Marsalis Jr. (November 14, 1934 – April 1, 2020) was an American jazz pianist and educator. Active since the late 1940s, Marsalis came to greater attention in the 1980s and 1990s as the patriarch of a musical family, with sons Branford and Wynton rising to international acclaim.

Life and career

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Marsalis was the son of Florence (née Robertson) and Ellis Marsalis Sr., a businessman and social activist. Marsalis and his wife Delores Ferdinand had six sons: Branford (born in 1960), Wynton (born in 1961), Ellis III (born in 1964), Delfeayo, Mboya (born in 1971), and Jason (born in 1977). Branford, Wynton, Delfeayo, and Jason also became jazz musicians. Ellis III is a poet, photographer, and network engineer.

Marsalis played saxophone during high school but switched to piano while studying classical music at Dillard University, graduating in 1955. He later attended graduate school at Loyola University New Orleans. In the 1950s and 1960s he worked with Ed Blackwell, Cannonball Adderley, Nat Adderley, and Al Hirt. During the 1970s, he taught at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. His students have included Terence Blanchard, Harry Connick Jr., Donald Harrison, Kent Jordan, Marlon Jordan, and Nicholas Payton.

Though he recorded almost twenty of his own albums and was featured on many discs with such musicians as David "Fathead" Newman, Eddie Harris, Marcus Roberts, and Courtney Pine, he shunned the spotlight to focus on teaching. Marsalis's didactic approach, combined with an interest in philosophy, encouraged his students to make discoveries in music on their own, through experiment and very careful listening.

As a leading educator at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, the University of New Orleans, and Xavier University of Louisiana, Ellis influenced the careers of countless musicians, as well as his four musician sons: Wynton, Branford, Delfeayo and Jason. Marsalis retired from UNO in 2001. In May 2007, Marsalis received an honorary doctorate from Tulane University for his contributions to jazz and musical education.

Marsalis was inducted into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2018.

The Ellis Marsalis Center for Music at Musicians' Village in New Orleans is named in his honor. In 2010, The Marsalis Family released a live album titled Music Redeems which was recorded at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC as part of the Duke Ellington Jazz Festival. All proceeds from the sale of the album go directly to the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music.

Marsalis and his sons were group recipients of the 2011 NEA Jazz Masters Award.

Marsalis was a Brother of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., initiated in 1953 at Epsilon Alpha Chapter, Dillard University.

Marsalis was a Brother of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia fraternity, initiated into Delta Epsilon Chapter (University of Louisiana-Lafayette) in 1965. In 2015, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia announced that Marsalis has been named Sinfonia's 24th Man of Music, the highest honor given by the fraternity to a member, for advancing the cause of music in America through performance, composition or any other musical activity.

On April 1, 2020, Marsalis died at the age of 85 from pneumonia brought by COVID-19.

Dolphins Preseason Week 3 Predictions

  Ty Cartier

Dolphins 17 – Eagles 27

The all important third preseason game is tonight in Philadelphia. It will be broadcasted live tonight on the NFL Network. We’ll get to see most of our starters go in and play for at least a half, so it’ll be curious to see what the halftime score will be. I fully expect to see Cutler go in and further showcase his command of Gase’s offense and establish chemistry with his receivers. He already showed his affinity for DeVante Parker, but he and Kenny Stills have had a good week in their joint practices with the Eagles. So expect to see extra throws in his direction. Now that we’ll have most of our opening day offensive line playing this game, I would like to see us run the ball well. However I wouldn’t be mad if they took Pouncey out after the first quarter though, just in case.

If this week of practice is any indication of tonight’s game, it’s gonna be ugly for our defense. Our linebackers and secondary were torched on multiple occasions over the course of the week. Fortunately our d-line fared a little better, but not much. If they’re able to get some pressure on Wentz, hopefully they’ll be able to force some bad throws and capitalize with a couple of turnovers. I’m less optimistic this week as I was last week, and see the Dolphins dropping this one 17-27.

Isaih Battiste

Dolphins 17 – Eagles 27

I predict that Philly’s defensive line will give Miami’s patchwork offensive line trouble. I don’t think that the Dolphins will be able to get the run game going and therefore, Miami will not be able to set up the play-action. This will cause us to rely on Cutler and he will throw a costly interception when trying to do too much. The connection between the receiving trio and Cutler won’t be developed yet and this will cause our passing attack to be lacking too. I predict that the Dolphins will complete one big play to keep the score closer than the game actually was. Carson Wentz and his receiving corps will have their way with Miami’s secondary.

Pat Cerniglia

Dolphins 24 – Eagles 21

Pouncey will get his first taste of real football this pre-season as he is expected to start for the Dolphins. While Pouncey will not get a lot of snaps look for the Dolphins starters to get a lot of snaps in first half as the 4th pre season game is usually for guys fighting for roster spots. Keep an eye on the secondary as they go against quarterback Carson Wentz who seems to be having his way with them during joint practices. Another thing to keep an eye on is the emergence of DeVante Parker. Him and Jay Cutler seem to already have good chemistry and look for them to keep that up tonight.

Dolphins 17 – Eagles 24

We have reached the “dress rehearsal” of the preseason. The starters will play into the 3rd quarter (typically) and we will get a snap shot of what the offense and defense will look like. The things to watch for in my opinion tonight are:

How does Jay Cutler look with a considerable amount of plays? Is a chemistry developing with his receivers?

The defense has not looked good of late in practice. How do they perform tonight?

Can the special teams rebound from the disaster that was last week?

Dolphins 17 – Eagles 20

The Miami Dolphins head to the city of brotherly love to take on the Eagles. I expect us to see the chemistry between Cutler and Parker to reach a whole new level. The two have been clicking which makes me believe DeVante will have a breakout year. I also hope to see the Dolphins defense work together and stop the starting offense of the Eagles, something which they struggled with in the two joint practices.

Alex Sala

Dolphins 20 – Eagles 17

Look for Adam Gase to ramp it up tonight as the Dolphins look to respond to a 31-7 beatdown last week. Expect Jay Cutler to make some big plays, and even find the end zone during his time on the field. The Eagles will pose a serious challenge for Miami as their offensive minded coach in Doug Peterson could cause the 2nd and 3rd units fits. I’m back to betting with my heart, but look for Miami to bounce back, clean up penalties, and cap off a solid week on the road with a 20-17 victory on the road. Players to Watch: Stringfellow and Tankersly. Also interested to see if Trey Griffey has anything to offer on the offensive side of the ball.

Mi'kmaq power, inside and beyond Ottawa, stronger than in past fishery battles

When Jaime Battiste was in his early 20s, cable news channels were full of images of Mi'kmaq fishermen in New Brunswick battling federal fisheries officers over seized lobster traps.

Now, Canada's first Mi'kmaq MP is on the inside of federal power, trying to help as the launch of an Indigenous lobster fishery in St. Marys Bay in Nova Scotia meets fierce resistance.

"I wonder if they ever thought, 20 years ago, that they'd have two Mi'kmaq senators and a Mi'kmaq MP who could help influence and work with government to find a solution," the Liberal MP said in a recent interview from his Cape Breton riding.

His role is seen by some observers as one sign Mi'kmaq political influence is gradually growing, when compared to the clashes off Burnt Church, N.B., in Miramichi Bay, between 1999 and 2002.

Curtis Bartibogue, a Mi'kmaq lobster fisherman who was arrested by Department of Fisheries and Oceans officers during that earlier unrest, said public knowledge of treaty rights remains poor, but governments are more reluctant to bring in enforcement crackdowns.

"There's a big difference now between government and Indigenous relationships due to our ability to have our voices within government," he said in an interview Friday from his community, now known as Esgenoopetitj First Nation.

He recently was following closely as Sipekne'katik First Nation held a ceremony on Sept. 17 at Saulnierville wharf in southwestern Nova Scotia, issuing five lobster licences.

Like Esgenoopetitj, the Nova Scotia community cites the 1999 Supreme Court of Canada decision stating Donald Marshall Jr. had a treaty right to fish for eels when and where he wanted, without a licence.

The Marshall decision also said the Mi'kmaq, Maliseet and Passamaquoddy bands could hunt, fish and gather to earn a "moderate livelihood," though the court followed up with a clarification two months later, saying the treaty right was subject to federal regulation.

As in earlier crises, opposition from non-Indigenous fishermen has been based on arguments that the First Nations must abide by Ottawa's conservation measures, and out-of-season fishing is therefore illegal.

Hundreds of non-Indigenous fishermen gathered for protests at wharfs after the new Nova Scotia fishery was announced this month, and later a flotilla hauled 350 Mi'kmaq traps from the water.

However, the reaction from Ottawa has followed a different pattern from the early 2000s.

Senators Dan Christmas of Membertou First Nation and Brian Francis from Lennox Island First Nation issued a letter noting the Mi'kmaq had treaty rights to hunt, fish and to earn a moderate livelihood.

Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan and Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett said in a Sept. 21 statement they won't tolerate vigilante action on the water, saying there's "no place for the threats, intimidation, or vandalism."

By Friday, Chief Mike Sack of the Sipekne'katik First Nation, confirmed he would hold talks this week with Jordan and her officials on defining what his community's moderate livelihood fishery might look like.

And the First Nation's boats kept fishing.

Meanwhile, Battiste and the Mi'kmaq senators met Friday at the Membertou First Nation in Cape Breton and held online discussions with Jordan and Bennett.

Battiste, a lawyer who has taught university courses on Indigenous treaties, says he's advocating the concept of co-managed fishing systems, with Mi'kmaq representatives having a direct say in regulations. "It could be the Canada-Mi'kmaq Fishing Authority. I'm not sure if federal legislation is required," he said.

It remains to be seen how influential the 41-year-old MP's views will be.

Naiomi Metallic, the chair in Aboriginal law and policy at Dalhousie University, said a negotiated solution is needed that recognizes treaty rights and includes a "significant and meaningful role for Mi'kmaq management of their own fishery."

She said to date the DFO response has been an initiative to provide commercial licences to some Mi'kmaq communities willing to participate, but it hasn't settled the issue of a moderate livelihood fishery under Indigenous control.

"Canada has been dragging and dragging its feet at the negotiation table and people are fed up," she said.

Bartibogue, who now holds a commercial licence, said his community accepted the DFO licences after years of battles, but he said the push for more control will continue.

He said his community just completed a two-week "treaty fishery" where he estimated about 500 traps were set for a total lobster catch of approximately 20,000 pounds.

"We basically did like what they're doing in St. Marys' Bay .... We just finished it yesterday and it went off pretty well," he said.

Battiste wouldn't speculate on how large a moderate livelihood fishery for his people would be.

"We will work with the government to figure out what is possible .... At the end of the day, we can't have continued hostilities on the water that flare up like this," he said.

A 'return to normal' for Nova Scotia after federal vote

Nova Scotians are digesting the results of a federal election that didn't change much for the country.

"The government did not deserve a majority and the other parties had some shortcomings," says voter John Dalziel.

For resident Dawn Belliveau, the result didn't seem worth the effort.

"It seemed that it was very rushed," she says, "it seemed that is was unnecessary."

Necessary or not, the results at the polls mean the Liberals lost two seats in the province – including one held by a prominent member of federal cabinet.

The riding of Cumberland-Colchester County returned to its traditional Tory roots, with Liberal incumbent Lenore Zann defeated by family doctor Stephen Ellis.

Healthcare had been a key issue in the provincial election, and Dr. Ellis said at his campaign event election night that he heard those concerns during his campaign.

"People are tired of not having a family physician and we know that primary care backs up our emergency rooms and backs up our ambulance service as well," he says.

But political science professor Tom Bickerton doesn't think the Conservative's platform on healthcare was the deciding factor.

Bickerton says the Conservative win in Cumberland-Colchester was likely more about appealing to the area's well-established Tory base.

"This time out, they had a leader who's more centrist," says Bickerton, "it made those traditionally progressive voters more comfortable voting CPC."

The other riding that went blue is South Shore-St.Margaret's, which had been held by Bernadette Jordan.

Bickerton believes her handling as federal fisheries minister of the ongoing conflict over the Mi'kmaw treaty fishery likely contributed to her defeat by CPC candidate Rick Perkins. The chief of Sipekne'katik First Nation, Chief Mike Sack, has often been at odds with Jordan and the department over just how much control Ottawa and the DFO should have over indigenous fishing activities.

While Chief Sack says he doesn't like to see Jordan lose her job, he is looking forward to a new fisheries minister.

"Hoping that it's somebody from like central Canada," he says, "who has an unbiased opinion and can work with us."

In Halifax, the federal NDP had high hopes in its candidate, former provincial NDP MLA Lisa Roberts.

But in what was a tight race that ran into the early morning hours of Tuesday, Roberts had to concede to re-elected Liberal MP Andy Fillmore.

Fillmore says the work of the still-minority Liberal government will now continue.

"We're not through with this pandemic yet," Fillmore told CTV news from his election headquarters Monday night, "and we're not done getting big ticket items across the threshold like ten dollar a day daycare."

In the Cape Breton riding of Sydney-Victoria - the province's only indigenous MP retained his seat as well.

Jaime Battiste beat out Conservative Eddie Orrell by 1,124 votes.

While the PPC candidate brought in more than that, at 1,173 votes, Orrell doesn't think a split vote on the right was a factor.

"I don't know what happened," says Orrell by phone while taking down his election signs in New Waterford after he says he and his team knocked on more than 20,000 doors on the campaign trail.

"The PPC vote I don't think was an influence in this campaign, I didn't hear that on the doors. I didn't hear that was going to be a factor in my campaign."

With eight Liberals and three Conservatives heading to Ottawa on behalf of Nova Scotia, Bickerton says the province is "into a more 'normal' distribution of political power" – which he says is a good thing, when it comes to representing the views and values of voters.
