{"product_id":"9781771623278","title":"All That We Say is Ours","description":"\u003cp\u003eHaida 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIan Gill traces the struggle from its early days. The battle became epic, stretching from the backwoods of British Columbia to the front benches of Canada’s 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. Perhaps the fiercest champion of the Haida’s visionary new stewardship ethic has been Guujaaw—artist, orator, strategist and four-term president of the Council of the Haida Nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2004, the Haida laid claim to their entire traditional territory: the land, seabed and waters of Haida Gwaii. It was a move 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, multilayered narrative with far-reaching reverberations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ian Gill (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":39893687205950,"sku":"9781771623278","price":28.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/onceuponabookstore.ca\/products\/9781771623278","provider":"Once Upon a Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
