Gaagwiis

Gaagwiis is the president of the Haida Nation, a prominent Indigenous leader who has been vocal in advocating for the rights and sovereignty of his people. Recently, he made headlines for his strong opposition to a proposed heavy oil pipeline project in British Columbia, stating that it would jeopardize the safety of his community and the environment. Gaagwiis emphasized the need for the Canadian government to uphold its responsibilities to Indigenous nations and criticized the push for infrastructure that threatens both the land and the cultural heritage of the Haida people.
