Infocus

On this edition of APTN News InFocus, host Cierra Bettens looks at a new law in Nova Scotia that could threaten Mi’kmaq treaty rights. Land protectors at Hunters Mountain in Unama’ki have prevented logging and construction for more than a month. But the Protecting Nova Scotians Act could give the province power to remove their checkpoint and jail those who refuse to leave. APTN video journalist Angel Moore shares what she’s seen on the ground and Veldon Coburn joins to explore how laws like this, along with Bill C-5 and Ontario’s Bill 5, are raising concerns about the future of Indigenous rights across the country. • • • APTN National News, our stories told our way.
