Songhees reclaim historic islands
As the News reported last Wednesday, the Songhees First Nation is increasing its patrols of Discovery and Chatham islands. Trespassing, fires and litter are damaging the sensitive ecosystem and culturally important areas. News reporter Christine van Reeuwyk went to the islands with members of the First Nation last week and brings us a three-part series that looks at why and how the Songhees is protecting its sovereignty. Please see the story on page A3.
