In 1985, members of the Haida Nation made headlines when they peacefully obstructed a forestry road on Athlii Gwaii (Lyell Island). For the Haida, the clear-cutting taking place on the island had crossed a boundary and they decided to make a stand, even though the timber industry represented one of their few sources of income. Seventy-two people were arrested during the protest, but the action was a success: in 1987 the government established the Gwaii Haanas Park Reserve / Haida Heritage Site. In 1993 Gwaii Haanas became the first co-managed National Park in Canada. The blockade on Athlii Gwaii (Lyell Island) inspired First Nations throughout Canada and the world to vehemently campaign for their political, social, and economic interests.
