[Resist!ca]

"Members of the Haida Nation bring their insurgency against Weyerhaeuser to Seattle today, one day before the global forest-products giant holds an annual meeting at its Federal Way headquarters. Back home on the Queen Charlotte Islands, non-Indian residents and Haida have banded together to seize millions of dollars of logs from Weyerhaeuser.
