"Film makers John Bassett and Rosalind Farber made numerous trips to Nisaga'a territory beginning in 2003 to document Nisga'a history, their struggle and life since the Nisga'a treaty was signed in May 2000. The result is the documentary Nisga'a Dancing in Both Worlds."@en
""Since time immemorial, in North West British Columbia, K'alii-Aksim Lisims - the great River Nass and surrounding mountains have been home to the Nisga'a people. Though sustained by the natural richness of their homeland, theirs is a history of survival. In the 18th Century, a devastating volcano erupted killing thousands of people as it spread molten lava down the valley. Explorers, missionaries and government representatives from Victoria and Ottawa invaded their lands bringing with them white man's diseases and alien ways, including the tragedy of the Residential Schools. For 113 years, Chiefs and leaders contrived to gain acknowledgement of possession and control of their rightful territories, culminating in 2001 when the Calder Case led by lawyer Tom Berger finally found success at the Supreme Court of Canada. Legal right to their ancestral territories led to the Final Agreement establishing conditions of self government.""@en
