- "For the Nisga'a People, this is a time of renewed hope. More than 100 years ago our forefathers travelled to Victoria to discuss the land question with then-premier William Smithe. That day, like so many others since, we were turned away from the steps of the Legislature. But finally, on December 10, 1991, the Nisga'a Tribal Council met with Premier Michael Harcourt and members of his cabinet to begin a new working process for resolving the longstanding claims of the province against our land and resources. We hope readers will gain insight into this important and unresolved issue. Knowledge and education are critical prerequisites for a just and honorable resolution of the land question". -- [Preface], p. [1].
