It was a recent tweet from Mi'kmaw educator Jarvis Googoo that prompted this conversation. He has been using his social media account to share information and stories about Indigenous History in the time before and after the settlers arrived in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and traditional lands of the Mi’kmaq people. June is Indigenous History Month and there has been a renewed interest in teaching all of us about what it means to be "treaty people". The particular post was about Donald Marshall Jr. Googoo wrote about how Marshall was wrongfully convicted of murder and imprisoned for 11 years for a crime he never committed. He was also responsible for the 1999 Supreme Court of Canada ruling upholding the Mi'kmaq right to fish for a moderate livelihood. Marshall, or Junior as he's also known, was the subject of a 2018 book by StFX anthropology professor Dr. L. Jane McMillan. She was also Junior's partner in life, and fishing, until his passing in 2009. McMillan describes the man, his journey and his impact on the indigenous fishing industry in this conversation about Truth and Conviction: Donald Marshall Jr. and the Mi’kmaw Quest for Justice.
