Global News published this video item, entitled “Sipekne’katik First Nation Chief Michael Sack to hold media availability | LIVE” – below is their description.
Chief Michael Sack of the Sipekne’katik First Nation is expected to hold a media availability on Sunday. Nova Scotia RCMP have said they have laid arson charges in connection with a vehicle fire that happened on Oct. 13 outside a lobster pound on the south shore. Police say they responded to a disturbance and when they arrived at the scene, officers dealt with a vehicle that was “on fire and heavily damaged.” At the time, the lobster pound in Middle West Pubnico, N.S., was being used by Mi’kmaq fishers. On Oct. 13, the facility was swarmed, vandalized and ransacked by a large crowd of non-Indigenous commercial fishers and their supporters. RCMP have charged 31-year-old Michael Burton Nickerson from Yarmouth County with arson causing damage to property. Nickerson was arrested Saturday afternoon and released from custody on conditions, police say. He is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 21. In addition, another man was charged on Saturday in relation to the assault of Sipekne’katik First Nation Chief Michael Sack that occurred on Oct. 14 in New Edinburgh.
