Abstract
This publication is based on a series of discussions carried out between Elder William (Bill) Jones of the Pacheedaht First Nation, artist and researcher Leila Sujir, and other members of the Elastic Spaces research group that took place online from 2020 to 2021. Organized into five chapters developed by Jones, each one presents a selection of short quotes by Jones, arranged in a poetic and narrative flow to reflect the author’s unique voice. The quotes relate to his lived experiences in and around the Walbran Forest and his reflections on the Fairy Creek old-growth logging protests. The publication includes a map of the Fairy Creek watershed, original artwork and book design by artist Daniela Ortiz, and a portrait of the authors by Yves Mayrand.
