Truth and Conviction: Donald Marshall Jr. and the Mi’kmaw Quest for Justice | L. Jane McMillan

2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

The name “Donald Marshall Jr.” is synonymous with “wrongful conviction” and the fight for Indigenous rights in Canada. In Truth and Conviction, Jane McMillan – Marshall’s former partner, an acclaimed anthropologist, and an original defendant in the Supreme Court’s Marshall decision – tells the story of how Marshall’s life-long battle against injustice permeated Canadian legal consciousness and revitalized Indigenous law. Marshall died in 2009, but his legacy lives on. Mi’kmaq continue to assert their rights and build justice programs grounded in customary laws and practices, key steps in the path to self-determination and reconciliation.

Good though a bit dry: chosen prompt for #Booked2023 #WronglyIncarcerated. This is a historic case in Canada. The first part is about the unjust incarceration of a Mi‘kmaq teen for 11 years in Nova Scotia in the 70s, leading to the Royal Commission that resulted in permanent changes to the legal system. 10 years later his controversial assertion of his Indigenous right to fish for eel in any season, also led to legal pro-Indigenous changes.
