[news] Haida Nation deal means end to blockade in sight

[Resist!ca]

"With an agreement looking likely, a lawsuit is now being prepared to bring against Weyerhaeuser based on Title, damages and breach of contract. The issue of damages is based on the land and timber taken from Haida Gwaii and the breach of contract relating to a violation of five parts of the Six Point Agreement, made with Weyerhaeuser in 2002, that the Haida allege was broken. This agreement covered things like respecting the Haida's cultural rights and the limitation of harvesting machinery... 'They just do not seem to be good stewards of the land,' said Mills about Weyerhaeuser. 'They're in the business of making money and they'll do that anyway they can.'"
