A new landmark agreement between the Haida Nation and the British Columbia government recognizes Haida title over all of Haida Gwaii, an archipelago of more than 150 islands almost 60 miles off of British Columbia's north coast. This agreement was negotiated, not litigated in the courts. Host Marco Werman finds out why in a conversation with Louise Mandell, an aboriginal rights lawyer who has worked with the Haida nation for decades and advised them on this agreement.
