Haida People
The Haida People are Indigenous inhabitants of the Haida Gwaii archipelago, located off the northern coast of British Columbia, Canada. They have a rich cultural heritage, known for their intricate art, including totem poles and woven baskets. The Haida language is part of the Na-Dene language family, and traditional practices include fishing, hunting, and gathering.
Historically, the Haida were skilled seafarers and traders, navigating the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Their society is organized into clans, each with its own unique symbols and stories. Today, the Haida continue to preserve their culture and advocate for environmental stewardship in their ancestral lands.
