Abstract
-
The Kwakiutl (pronounced Kwa-gyu-thl) people demonstrated at the BC Legislature on 12 February 2007 to protest the government's secretive and illegal land deal with the logging company Western Forest Products. The Kwakiutl accuse the government of breaching their 1851 Douglas Treaty. Signed when Vancouver Island was a British colony under Queen Victoria, the treaty protects the collective Aboriginal Title and Rights of the Kwakiutl First Nation.
