In the summer of 1995 in British Columbia the RCMP laid seige to a small
group of native sovereigntists in the biggest RCMP paramilitary operation in
Canadian history, which has become known as the "Gustafsen Lake Crisis." It
ended in a year-long criminal trial and conviction of 13 people. The elder,
Wolverine received the highest sentence of eight years, and remains
incarcerated as a prisoner of war along with others.
