In Nova Scotia, Mi’kmaq Lobster Fishermen Fought to Save Their Way of Life

"The Toronto chef Matty Matheson—who does not currently sell lobster on his menu—joined the boycott and urged solidarity: "I don’t know the laws but they should be able to live as freely as possible," he said, asking rhetorically, "Do you know where your lobster is coming from? People think it’s Captain Highliner or Santa Claus!" He also stated, "We need to help each other, not try to destroy each other. The Mi’kmaw people should be able to fish all the lobster they want forever," and included a lobster recipe in his book Home Style Cookery." - Ivy Knight
