From Gitksan and Wet’suwet’en Chiefs, "The
ownership of territory is a marriage of the Chief and the
land. Each Chief has an ancestor who encountered and
acknowledged the life of the land. From such encounters came
power. The land, the plants, the animals and the people all
have spirit – they all must be shown respect. That is the
basis of our law" (qtd Archibald, Coyote Learns 237).
