This is a rich and revelatory scrapbook of portraits sketches, court transcripts, newspaper reports and photographs. The book tells the wonderful and painful stories behind the courtroom drama while making it clear how important the Gitksan and Wet'suwet'en's struggles for control of their land is for the world-wide movement for indigenous rights.
