xi, 200 pages. Bibliography. "Takes us inside the Gitksan and Wet'suwet'en peoples' campaign for justice and recognition. Glavin shows how their struggle, which is taking place within Canada's legal system as well on the land itself in a series of roadblocks, is rooted in their view that their relationship to the land is one of responsibility - for the land , and to the generations to come. A rich and fascinating blend of past and present, this timely book will forever change the way readers think of the 'land claims' issue." - dust jacket.
