"There was no one to tell these stories and pass them on to," McDonald, who has described himself as a part-time historian, told CBC Radio's Information Morning Nova Scotia on Friday. He is also trying to bring attention to the lack of Mi'kmaw representation within the Nova Scotia Public Prosecutions Service. By sharing this history and his experiences as a Mi'kmaw lawyer on Facebook, he's hoping to educate others through a Mi'kmaw perspective. "The one thing you [have] to understand is that when the British wrote history, they wrote a history in such a way that followed their own agendas," McDonald said. McDonald said his research and writings are available to everyone, so they can learn the truth about Mi'kmaw history and culture.
