Several hundred members of the Haida Nation of British Columbia held a protest against the federal government's plans to lift a moratorium on off-shore drilling.
Members of a federal panel studying the issue refused an invitation to a traditional feast. So the tribe boycotted a hearing Tuesday night and held a celebration to oppose any drilling.
The tribe claims ownership of the Queen Charlotte Basin and its resources.
