A two-person logging road blockade in Wet'suwet'en territory at Babine Lake, near Smithers, BC, aims to protect "this piece of wood," the last stand of intact forest on Wet'suwet'en traditional territory. Its transfer to the province—following 10 years of Indigenous opposition and government inaction—has put the property in the hands of Canfor, a lumber and pulp company.
