"ISTA has been regarded as a protest and blockade against logging, clearcutting and its impacts; but for us, it was about Nuxalk history, existence, beliefs, and who we are, as a People. As Nuxalkmc we have never ceded, treatied, sold, or relinguished our connection to our Lands and our Rights. Our Creator through the Great Spirit put us into these Home Lands to care for and protect. As Nuxalkmc, we are committed to do so" Chief Qwatsinas |
