Hereditary Chief Qwatsinas of the Nuxalk Nation on the Great Bear Rainforest, part 2
Qwatsinas joined me again for a more detailed interview than our interview back in January. He was interested in talking more about his traditional Nuxalk territory, the 'spirit bear,' the tradeoff between logging, jobs, and intact ecosystems, and much more. I like Qwatsinas, he has a thoughtful, quiet demeanor which is imbued with care and wisdom. Qwatsinas was also a speaker at this year's Wild Earth gathering, and has been committed, for a very long time, to working to protect the rights of First Nations communities and the rights and health of the earth.
