He spent more than eleven years in jail before a royal commission exonerated him and exposed the entrenched racism underlying the terrible miscarriage of justice. Four years later, in 1993, he was charged with fishing eels without a licence. With the backing of Mi'kmaw chiefs, he took the case all the way to the Supreme Court to vindicate Indigenous treaty rights in the landmark \u003cem\u003eMarshall\u003c\/em\u003e decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarshall was only fifty-five when he died in 2009.
