Islands' Spirit Rising: by Louise Takeda - 2014 Reclaiming the Forests of Haida Gwaii

Condition: clean copy
Content: Set in Haida Gwaii, this book examines the long-term conflict over the islands' ancient forests and events that unfolded in the context of collaborative land-use planning. In response to threats posed by a century of logging, a local indigenous-environmental-community movement built enough momentum to challenge the multinational forest industry and the political structures enabling it. It traces the evolution of this dynamic force, from the early days of Haida resistance to the modern context of alliances, legal battles, and evolving forms of governance.
