Abstract:	This article is adapted from a speech given by Joseph Gosnell on March 3, 2003, for the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at the Harvard Faculty Club in Cambridge, Massachusetts. These aboriginal people did not disappear. They reclaimed their identity, culture, land, and liberty—not through armed resistance, but through patience, determination, and principled negotiation. This is not a story of loss and assimilation, this is story of rebirth and recovery—the story of my people, the Nisga’a people.
