Many thanks to our research collaborators in the Nass Valley and the Wilp Wilxo’oskwhl Nisga’a Institute, especially to Dr Deanna Nyce, my dear friend Irene Squires, and my loving wife Estefania Milla-Moreno for all their support during fieldwork and afterwards. Also thanks to BioOne for making this possible!

Highlights

• Non-Indigenous forest management was disastrous for the ecology of the Nass Valley area.
• Non-Indigenous forest management showed no recognition of, or respect for, Nisga’a traditional approaches to land management.
• Traditional Nisga’a resource management is a resilience-oriented management approach.
• Future approaches need to be based on Indigenous people’s knowledge and rights while at the same time utilizing valuable knowledge from non-Indigenous sources.
• An inclusive management approach focused on restoring ecosystem function can enhance Nisga’a forest resilience.
