The dispute over a Mi’kmaw-regulated lobster fishery in Nova Scotia has caught the attention of Indigenous people across the country and many are getting creative with how they’re lending support to the fishers.

“It’s really, really, really beautiful to see. And it makes the bad days good,” said Alexa Metallic.

Metallic is Mi’kmaw from Listuguj, Que., and currently lives in Halifax. She has been helping to organize fundraisers for people involved in the Sipekne’katik First Nation’s lobster fishery in Saulnierville, N.S.
