Summary

In June 1981, the Québec Provincial Police (QPP) raided Restigouche Reserve, Québec. The issue was salmon fishing rights of Micmac people. Because salmon has traditionally been a source of food and income for the Micmac, the Québec government's decision to restrict fishing aroused consternation and anger among the Indians. This program provides a historical perspective on the issue and documents, with newsclips, photographs and interviews, the police raids.
