Big Trout Chief Receives Honor

Chief Donny Morris of the Big Trout Lake First Nation stood up for what he believes in, and now he's been awarded a medal.

Morris was presented a diamond jubilee pin, honoring the work he's done for his community.

In March 2008, Morris and others were put in jail for standing up to the province.

Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell presented the medal, saying Morris has been a "true leader".
