Rally to support Meares Island Tribal Park

On October 20, 1985 over 1200 people gathered before the British Columbia Parliament Buildings to rally support for the Meares Island Tribal Park. The raising of Cedar Man, a carving by Clayoquot artist Joe David, highlighted the ceremonies.

The statue, symbolizing the power of nature on Meares, will eventually be raised on Meares Island. It now stands at' the-entrance of University of British Columbia's Anthropology Museum in Vancouver.
