On October 13, 2020, a mob of non-Indigenous fishermen trapped and harassed two Mi’kmaq fishermen inside of a lobster pound in West Pubnico, Nova Scotia, Canada. Jason Marr, one of the targeted fishermen of the Sipekne’katik First Nation, initially headed to the lobster pound when he heard of a plan to seize and release Mi’kmaq lobster catches back into the bay.
Dear CS Community,

En estos días de pandemia, en los que el COVID-19 hizo evidente las múltiples debilidades que las organizaciones políticas denominadas Estado/Nación traen consigo, sobresalió uno de los temas que desde siempre ha generado debate, no sólo entre instancias oficiales, sino también entre los principales ejecutores y receptores: la educación formal.

It has been a full year since I joined Cultural Survival and just five months into my journey, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and affected our lives in more ways than one. 2020 has caused unprecedented health, political and economic crises across the globe and this pandemic has deeply affected many Indigenous communities, causing an immediate threat to our well-being and survival. Cultural Survival, without missing a beat pivoted to supporting our partner communities and their responses to the virus.
