Haida
The Haida are an Indigenous people from the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America, primarily residing in the Haida Gwaii archipelago, formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands in British Columbia, Canada. They have a rich cultural heritage, known for their intricate art, totem poles, and traditional longhouses. The Haida language is part of the Na-Dené language family, and their society is organized into clans, each with its own unique symbols and stories.
Historically, the Haida were skilled fishermen and hunters, relying on the abundant natural resources of the ocean and forests. They played a significant role in the trade networks of the region, exchanging goods with neighboring tribes. Today, the Haida continue to preserve their culture and traditions while engaging in modern economic activities, including tourism and art.
