Documentary about Haida Gwaii blockade sheds new light on agreement
Haida Nation member Christopher Auchter went through hundreds of hours of footage to make The Stand, a film about the 1985 anti-logging blockade on Haida Gwaii that led to over 70 arrests. Four decades later, Haida leader Miles Richardson — who is prominently featured in the film — spoke alongside Auchter about the blockade's significance after the federal government signed a historic agreement recognizing the Haida Nation's title over the archipelago.
