[Paddlewise] More on Haida Takeover

The excerpt off the Tidepool (http://www.tidepool.org/) referencing a Vancouver
Province article
(http://www.canada.com/vancouver/story.asp?id={1CBBCBFD-076E-4F15-A77B-3EE6AB80F517}).

(Note: The above URL will probably need to be pasted together to work.  Very
slow access.)

BEGIN
Guujaaw, the Haida carver who is leading his people's fight for title to the
Queen Charlotte Islands, says he's a reluctant conscript who'd rather be
digging clams. Born Gary Edenshaw, almost 50 years ago in Masset, he's been a
carver, carpenter, singer, drummer, dancer and veteran of the Lyell Island
anti-logging protests. He visited Hungary in 1993 with Haida artistic icon Bill
Reid and went to look at the destruction of the Amazon rainforest with
environmentalist David Suzuki in 1989. He'll patiently explain the history of
the Haida from "first contact" to present day skirmishes with logging
giant Weyerhaeuser.   (03/18/02) Vancouver Province
