MAY 11, 2000

Native fishermen from the Prince Edward Island Native Council will begin lobster fishing this weekend despite threats from non-Native fishmermen. Natives report being told their traps will be cut and their boats sunk if they break the "fishermen's code" of non-Natives in Northport. The Abegweit Mi'ikmaq turned in a government bought license last week due to threats.
