Description

Haida Gwaii, often referred to as the Queen Charlotte Islands, is the Galapagos of the north. Famous for their wild beauty, the islands are also the traditional place of birth of the Haida Nation. Integral to Haida culture is the connection to the land, and the Haidas have spent many years trying to give protection to and get better keep an eye on of it. Under the leadership of Giindajin Haawasti Guujaaw, the visionary artist, drummer, and orator, the Haida blockaded loggers, joined forces with environmentalists, lobbied political leaders, and in 2004 filed suit against the Canadian government, laying claim to their entire traditional territory. Ian Gill captures the thrill of the Haida struggle and their passion for their culture. He also reveals the making of an artist and political activist: Guujaaw’s audacity, eloquence, tactical skills, and deep knowledge of his place of birth place him on the heart of this riveting story, and this book reveals his peculiar role in it.
