Aboriginal activist's grandson charged with murderUpdated Mon. Dec. 31 2007 4:16 PM ET The Canadian Press

TRURO, N.S. -- Police in Truro, N.S., confirm they have charged Nora Bernard's grandson with first-degree murder in the death of the respected aboriginal activist.

James Douglas Gloade of Millbrook, N.S., was arraigned in court today.

Bernard was found dead in her home near the Millbrook First Nation last Thursday.

The 72-year-old Mi'kmaq elder was well-known for pushing governments to compensate aboriginals who suffered abuse at Canada's network of residential schools.

In the early 1990s, Bernard began organizing survivors of the school in Shubenacadie, N.S., and launched a legal action that later merged with a similar suit in Ontario.

The class-action suit led to a compensation agreement with Ottawa that could be worth up to $5 billion.
