Better with Bees is a student-run club focused on urban environmental sustainability at Charles P. Allen High School in Bedford, within the Sipekne'katik district of Mi'kma'ki.In the words of Topsy Olatunji, a student member of Better with Bees: “Our project centers on involving the Mi'kmaw community in establishing a healing garden and a Wabanaki pollinator garden, topics I will delve into deeper in the episode. We aim to educate and cultivate environmental awareness on local bee populations and pollinators in our ecosystem.”And from teacher Christopher Hall: “In the spring of 2022, Charles P. Allen High School (CPA) was approached by Alvéole, an urban beekeeping company, to house a beehive at the school. This beehive inspired the work that CPA's Better With Bees does as a community change maker. Working with students we have developed a plan to not only make tangible impacts on climate change, but also to showcase a native species garden. By building a Wabanaki pollinator garden surrounding a Mi'kmaq Medicine Garden, we hope to demonstrate that gardening with native species is a beautiful urban possibility.”Shared Ground host Amanda Bostlund was excited to speak with three of the many people involved in Better with Bees during Helping Nature Heal's 18th Seedy Saturday event in Bridgewater this February.

He also talks about the importance of school students learning about Mi'kmaw culture and, in fact, all cultures, and becoming comfortable with cultural diversity. Shawn shares about Netukulimk, a way of living, and about how there can be differences in Mi'kmaw teachings from different communities, how all teachings are rooted in respect, and about the tolerance of Mi'kmaw people to hold these differences and a way that doesn't designate right or wrong.Shawn Feener is a Mi'kmaw knowledge holder and a conservationist. He has worked in the conservation field for many years as a fish biologist, and has recently entered the education field. Shawn has lived close Pijinuiskaq or the Lahave River his whole life and has had the pleasure of working with some of the beings that call Pijinuiskaq home.

An extended version of Jeff's interview with Chief Mike Sack, asking him about conservation concerns raised by retired fisheries scientist Michael Dadswell.

Let down by RCMP and government, the Sipekne'katik First Nation band has launched a flurry of lawsuits challenging provincial fish buyer regulators and targeting perpetrators of harassment and violence against Moderate Livelihood fishers. This week, we speak with Ron Pink—the lawyer leading the legal fight.

An extended version of Alex Mason's conversation with William Wicken, a history prof at York University and author of "Mi'kmaq Treaties on Trial" and "The Colonization of Mi'kmaw Memory and History." He testified in the case of Donald Marshall Jr, and in a follow-up prosecution against fishermen from Sipekne'katik (though those charges were later stayed).

Buildings and vehicles burned to the ground, fists thrown, flares fired, and property stolen. Just some of the acts of violence captured on camera as the Sipekne’katik First Nation launched its modest livelihood fishery on Sept. 17. Chief Mike Sack was not expecting any of it. On the latest episode of Face to Face Host Dennis Ward sits down with Chief Mike Sack to discuss the ongoing situation in Nova Scotia.

Buildings and vehicles burned to the ground, fists thrown, flares fired, and property stolen.

On the latest episode of Face to Face Host Dennis Ward sits down with Chief Mike Sack to discuss the ongoing situation in Nova Scotia.

Ongoing violence marks a dispute over treaty rights and commercial lobster fishing in Nova Scotia. Arson, property destruction, vandalism and physical confrontations erupted after the Sipekne’katik First Nation exerted their treaty rights and started harvesting lobster outside the federally-mandated season. The actions echo the Fish Wars in the U.S. in the 1970s. Canada’s Supreme Court affirmed Indigenous fishing rights off season in 1999 to make what the court said was “a moderate living”. Interpretations of those words are among the key points of contention.

There's been criticism of Sipekne'katik First Nation in recent days from the Bear River First Nation. The chief of Bear River says her band members can no longer fish in St. Marys Bay due to the ongoing fishery dispute. Host Jeff Douglas spoke with Mike Sack, chief of Sipekne'katik, about those concerns.

Commercial fishermen have raised concerns about the sustainability of the lobster in St Mary's Bay after Sipekne'katik First Nation launched its rights-based fishery last month. Host Jeff Douglas spoke with Susanna Fuller with Oceans North about DFO's own landings data, and how it compares to the landings in the rest of LFA 34.

A judge rules against the Pascua Yaqui Tribe's effort to reinstate the only early voting polling site on the reservation The chief of the Sipekne'katik First Nation says the lobster fishing dispute in Nova Scotia is costing his band more than $1.5 million The Coquille Tribe in Oregon is the first in the U.S. to receive full authority to manage its forests

Melissa revient surla situation tendue qui perdure sur certains quais en Nouvelle-Écosse. Elle parle entre autres des actes de vandalisme envers des pêcheurs de la communauté Sipekne'katik, qui revendiquent leurs droits traditionnels issus de traités négociés avec les autorités et de décisions juridiques.

Racially motivated attacks on the Mi'kmaq lobster fishers in Nova Scotia have cost them over $1 million in lost catch and damaged equipment and boats. Despite only taking in about 1% of the lobster catch in Nova Scotia, and working within their treaty rights to fish in their territory outside the commercial season, rights that have been upheld by the Supreme Court, Mi'kmaq fishers have had their traps cut, vehicles torched and warehouses set on fire.

Racially motivated attacks on the Mi'kmaq lobster fishers in Nova Scotia have cost them over $1 million in lost catch and damaged equipment and boats. Despite only taking in about 1% of the lobster catch in Nova Scotia, and working within their treaty rights to fish in their territory outside the commercial season, rights that have been upheld by the Supreme Court, Mi'kmaq fishers have had their traps cut, vehicles torched and warehouses set on fire. Non-indigenous commercial fishing interests have refused to buy their catch, sell them fuel, or fishing equipment. Chief Mike Sack of the Sipekne'katik First Nation discusses the impact of these attacks, the frustration in seeing the Department of Fisheries and RCMP do little to protect fishers from his Nation, why he has decided to pull his fishing fleet for the time being, and what comes next.

Opposition to the launch of a Mi’kmaw lobster fishery in Nova Scotia last month has grown increasingly violent. Over the past week, two facilities storing Mi’kmaw catches were targeted and vandalized by several hundred non-Indigenous commercial fishermen and their supporters, one facility was burned to the ground and a man has been charged with assaulting the chief of Sipekne'katik First Nation. But this is just the latest chapter in a dispute that stretches back at least two decades. APTN reporters Angel Moore and Trina Roache discuss the latest developments and explain the complex history behind this conflict.

Daniel Lazare, investigative journalist and author of "America's Undeclared War," joins us to discuss the the longest-running land conflict in the former Soviet Union, occurring in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Since Sunday, Azerbaijani troops have been fighting forces from Nagorno-Karabakh and the Armenian military, leaving nearly 100 people dead and perhaps hundreds more injured so far. What's behind the madness?Shelly Martin, who made history last year as the first Mi’kmaq woman to be appointed as adjudicator of the Small Claims Court of Nova Scotia, joins us to discuss the fight over fishing rights happening in Nova Scotia, Canada. The Sipekne'katik First Nation is exerting what the nation says are its clear rights to fish for lobsters in St. Mary’s Bay. That has triggered standoffs with non-Indigenous commercial fishers in the area, who have gathered to harass Mi'kmaq fishers, seem to have been behind cutting Mi'kmaq trap lines and otherwise disturbing their traps and at least once gathered at the home of one of the Mi'kmaq’s customers to intimidate them. It seemed like there was really the potential for violence there last week, but the Mi'kmaq fishers did haul in their first lobster harvest, which was shared as a victory on social media.Jim Kavanagh, editor of The Polemicist, joins us to discuss several news stories, beginning with: is Russiagate finally done? "The Justice Department has released a pair of documents casting fresh doubt on the judgment of senior law enforcement officials who investigated possible links between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016," the Washington Post reported on September 25. We'll also look at a Monday report by the UK's Channel 4 News which said that "3.5 million Black Americans were categorized by Donald Trump’s campaign as ‘Deterrence’ – voters they wanted to stay home on election day. ... [C]ivil rights campaigners said the evidence amounted to a new form of voter 'suppression' and called on Facebook to disclose ads and targeting information that has never been made public." Also, a Kentucky grand jury member is taking action to reveal the truth in the Breonna Taylor case. A motion filed in court calls for the grand jury transcripts to be released.Seema Sueko, deputy artistic director of Arena Stage in Washington, DC, joins us to discuss their new docudrama "The 51st State." According to Arena Stage, the film "premiered on September 16 and was inspired by the protests and and the drive for the creation of a movement after the murder of George Floyd and the quest for the creation of the 51st state and sovereignty in Washington, DC."

We’re going to the wharf in Saulnierville, Nova Scotia where a Mi’kmaw regulated lobster fishery opened. CBC Indigenous Unit reporter Nic Meloney was there for the opening and some of the protests that followed. I invited him onto the program to give a backgrounder on the protests, what the fishery means to Sipekne'katik First Nation and what it could mean in the rest of Atlantic Canada.

Susanna Fuller, a scientist who works for Oceans North, spoke with host Jeff Douglas about the concerns of some commercial fishermen who say Sipekne'katik First Nation's new self-regulated fishery will decimate lobster stocks in St. Marys Bay. Fuller says she hasn't seen data to support that.

Megan Bailey is an associate professor and Canada Research Chair in Integrated Ocean and Coastal Governance at Dalhousie University. She addresses one of the central questions in the dispute over the Sipekne'katik fishery in Saulnierville.

In Episode 69, we talked to Cheryl Maloney, a Mi'kmaw mother, leader, educator and warrior from Sipekne'katik - formerly known as Indian Brook First Nation. She joined us to share what is 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.

Chief Mike Sack with Sipekne'katik First Nation spoke with host Jeff Douglas about the community's moderate livelihood fishery plan and the tensions that have erupted in southwest Nova Scotia.

Colin Sproul, president of the Bay of Fundy Inshore Fishermen's Association, said his problem is not with Mi'kmaw fishermen, but rather with the federal government. He spoke with host Jeff Douglas about what's been happening in southwest Nova Scotia after the Sipekne'katik First Nation launched a self-regulated lobster fishery last week.

We're back with a look at the Ellen Page-produced adaptation of Ingrid Waldron's book There's Something in the Water: Environmental Racism in Indigenous and Black Communities. This film chronicles three struggles for justice in Black and Indigenous communities in Nova Scotia against industry and the state in Shelburne, Pictou Landing First Nation, and Sipekne’katik First Nation. We discuss the long history of racism in Canada, regulatory capture, resistance and COVID-19, and of course Tyler Shandro's passionate defense of his wife.

The Final Straw is excited to share with our listeners an episode of the podcast, Shades of Green, which describes itself as “a podcast exploring environmental justice from unceded Mi'kmaq territory.” (correction to our intro, we say "liquified natural gas", when in fact the facility would just store "natural gas."  Apologies for the confusion.) This episode features voices of the Mi'kmaq resistance to the building of an liquified natural gas storage facility by Alton Gas in salt caverns under and around the Sipekne'katik River in so-called Nova Scotia, potentially resulting in salt pollution and likely seepage of the gas into the river. The episode, a cleverly produced montage, features indigenous words about their lifeways, relationship to settlers, settler society and government and what it means to live in treaty with another community and the earth. Much of the conversation sits around the Truckhouse and Treaty Camp along the banks of the Sipekne'katik River, which provides shelter, a space for organizing. You are prompted multiple times, dear listener, to reflect on whose land you are on and what your relationship is with them. What is decolonization and what does living in treaty with the land and your neighbors mean? Thanks to the friend in Nova Scotia for passing this our way, thanks to Sadie Beaton for permission to air and to those voices we hear on the recording. We hope you enjoy. More information on the struggle can be found at Stop Alton Gas

Why are there so many garbage dumps close to African Nova Scotian communities? Why do Mi’kmaq communities experience food insecurity on their unceded territory? Who defines what counts as environmental racism? The roots of environmental racism run pretty deep in Nova Scotia. About 500 years deep. On this episode of Shades of Green, we get curious about the forces that have shaped how we relate to the land and to each other here in unceded Mi’kmaq territory. Colonization has wrapped the histories of Mi’kmaq rights holders up with communities of Acadians, Scots, Black Loyalists, Maroons, Planters, and more recent immigrant communities. These displacements and migrations set the scene for the environmental racism that we see here today. Before European colonizers arrived on these shores, Mi’kmaq communities had long been caring gently for these lands and waters. We talked to Roger Lewis about the violent disruption that colonial settlers brought with them. Roger is the Curator of Ethnology at the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History and a member of Sipekne’katik First Nation: “Environmental racism, really, dates back to those Indian reserves. They go from the whole province of Nova Scotia to tiny reserves; from like 1,200 acres instead of 40,000 square miles. So they’re on the river in Shubenacadie because it’s the most productive area, and then all of a sudden they’re up in Shubenacadie (Reserve)with no access to rivers.” Some European settlers brought enslaved African peoples to Mi’kma’ki. After the American Revolution, colonial governments also promised freedom, equality and land to Black Loyalists and other Black refugees coming northwards. Spoiler alert: these promises were broken. As activist and Lincolnville resident James Desmond described the origins of his small African Nova Scotian community: "(Black Loyalists) were promised land after they landed here, and were granted 3000 acres. But not too long after the French Acadians arrived and the 3000 acres was re-granted to the French Acadians. That was a loss of our good fertile land and our economic base because of the attachment to the fishery.” In 1974, a large municipal dump opened one kilometre away from Lincolnville. Since then, the community has been concerned about the potential impacts of various contaminants, including cadmium, phenol, and toluene. When it closed in 2006, a large second-generation landfill almost immediately opened in the same location. Sadly, Lincolnville’s experience is echoed across African Nova Scotian and Mi’kmaq communities. These disproportionate impacts are part of a larger racist pattern of displacement and blocked access to land and resources. Join us as we pull back and take a bit of a long view, exploring some of the histories of colonization on these lands and how these severed relationships with the land connect to the environmental racism we see today.
