SynopsisThis book brings alive the cultural and spiritual distinctiveness of the Gitskan and Wet'suwet'en peoples while serving as a stinging indictment of the western legal systems which deny rights, justice and dignity to native peoples. This is a rich and revelatory scrapbook of portraits sketches, court transcripts, newspaper reports and photographs. The book tells the wonderful and painful stories behind the courtroom drama while making it clear how important the Gitksan and Wet'suwet'en's struggles for control of their land is for the world-wide movement for indigenous rights.
