Nuu-chah-nulth

First Nations and non natives protesting at the BC Legislature in 1985 against the industrial logging of Meares Island in Clayoquot Sound, homeland of Tlaoquiaht First Nation. A traditional 27 foot red cedar welcome figure carved by Tlaoquiaht Joe David expressed the indigenous demand: "Total preservation of Meares Island based on TITLE and survival of our Native way of life."   Photo: Robert Soderlund
