*** About Haida Gwaii: Haida Gwaii, known formerly as the Queen Charlotte Islands, lies off the northwest coast of British Columbia, Canada. This remote archipelago is steeped in the rich heritage of the Haida people, its indigenous inhabitants. Known for its lush rainforests, rugged coastlines, and diverse wildlife, including the iconic Haida Gwaii black bear, the islands also serve as a living museum of Pacific Northwest art and culture. The region's isolation has preserved many aspects of this unique cultural nexus, offering insight into the traditions and living practices of the Haida community.
