Chief Miskokmon also discusses the importance of the environment to his people and the threats which the Great Lakes constantly faces in this sphere, the Jay Treaty and international border crossing rights, education issues, band elections, and a proposal for a "forum to develop our First Nation laws, such as policing, justice, environmental conservation laws -- and the list goes on."
