Sounds like a lousy law. It's a treaty. They've been granted that right in exchange for use of their land. I think most people would agree that a little subsistence-level lobster fishing is a reasonable price to pay for the entirety of Nova Scotia. Actually, I think most people would agree that the natives got utterly ripped off by that deal, but as you say, it's a lousy law, and that's very much par for the colonial course. --- This is my signature.
