Donald Marshall Jr., the Cape Breton-born Mi'kmaq activist who spent 11 years in prison on a wrongful murder conviction, and later launched a court challenge which resulted in the affirmation of First Nations' treaty rights to hunt and fish (known as the Marshall Decision), died this morning of complications from a 2003 lung transplant.
