Athlii Gwaii: Upholding Haida Law on Lyell Island

Bag om Athlii Gwaii: Upholding Haida Law on Lyell Island

In 1985, the Haida Nation refused to accept the relentless industrial logging practices that were ravaging the southern part of the Haida Gwaii archipelago and drew a line that stands to this day. Canada and British Columbia pushed back and seventy-two people were arrested, including many Elders. But the Haida held firm in their stand, and negotiations resulted in the ground-breaking Gwaii Haanas Agreement. Filled with rich political and personal stories from upwards of 40 authors, along with intimate images, Athlii Gwaii pays homage to Haida Gwaii and its people, upholds Indigenous Rights and Title, bears witness to how non-violence works and reminds us of ... the possible.
