MIDDLE WEST PUBNICO, N.S. — The Nova Scotia RCMP confirmed Friday the arrest of 21 people in recent weeks as they continue to investigate a violent confrontation at a lobster pound at the centre of a dispute over a self-regulated Indigenous fishery.
On the night of Oct. 13, about 200 mostly non-Indigenous fishermen and their supporters converged on the facility in Middle West Pubnico, N.S., which was storing lobster caught outside of the federally regulated fishing season by members of the Sipekne’katik First Nation.
