| | Journal of Canadian Studies: Netukulimk past and present: Mikmaw ethics and the Atlantic fishery |
 | | This ecological and economic disaster has been the focus of a public relations war over responsible fishing between federal bureaucrats and Mikmaq. | | | One of the first French merchants in Mikmakis, the historical Mikmaw territory on what is now Canada's Atlantic coast, described netukulimk in 1672 (Denys 1908: 403). | | | The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has responded by asserting its "scientific" superiority. |
