All That We Say is Ours: Guujaaw and the Reawakening of the Haida Nation by Ian

Description: All That We Say is Ours by Ian Gill Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An important volume documenting the struggles of the Haida People and their fight for self-determination, now available in paperback. Haida Gwaii, the ancient territory of the Haida people, is a West Coast archipelago famous for its wild beauty and rich species diversity. But that natural bounty, since European contact, has also been a magnet for industry. In the mid-1970s, the Haida rallied with environmentalists to end the rapacious logging of their monumental old-growth forests-and to reassert their title and rights to their homeland.Combining first-person accounts with his own vivid prose, Ian Gill traces the struggle from its early days. The battle became epic, stretching from the backwoods of British Columbia to the front benches of Canadas parliament and uniting a colourful cast of characters. There were many setbacks, but also amazing victories, including the creation of Gwaii Haanas, a world-renowned protected area, and landmark legal decisions. Perhaps the fiercest champion of the Haidas visionary new stewardship ethic has been Guujaaw-artist, orator, strategist and four-term president of the Council of the Haida Nation.In 2004, the Haida laid claim to their entire traditional territory: the land, seabed and waters of Haida Gwaii. It was an audacious move, and one that set a benchmark for indigenous rights around the world. In telling this incredible story of political and cultural renaissance, Ian Gill has crafted a gripping, ultilayered narrative with far-reaching reverberations.
