Tribal fishermen guilty for lobster catch

WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 2002

Two Mi'kmaq fishermen from the Burnt Church First Nation of New Brunswick, Canada, were fined $2,000 each and given three months probation for catching lobster out of season.

Native fishermen have asserted treaty rights to fish free of federal regulation. But in this case, the pair also broke tribal law.
