both struggling to defend their ways of life. Shot on Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy
coast, the two-part documentary <SPAN>explores the grounds for solidarity

role fishing plays in both cultures. </SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>

River First Nation as they stand up to pressure from the Department of Fisheries
(DFO) to sell their treaty rights for a ticket into the commercial fisheries.
</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 17px">For
the Mi’kmaq, fishing is a right that comes from the Creator, and is protected by
the Treaties. </SPAN><SPAN><SPAN class=Apple-style-span

and DFO has since signed agreements with 32 of the 34 First Nations in the
region. The deals offer money to buy into the commercial fisheries, as long as
the Mi’kmaq fish under DFO’s jurisdiction. That's not good enough for Bear
River, one of two communities refusing to sign.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
