A Haida homeland, steeped in natural beauty and spirituality.
Here, the land, sea, and people are inter-connected; Gina waadlux̱an gud ad kwaagid: everything depends on everything else. That is why Gwaii Haanas is protected from the mountaintops to the ocean floor.
For the past 30 years, this special place has been cooperatively managed by the Council of the Haida Nation and the Government of Canada.
The Haida Gwaii Watchmen Program protects five Haida village sites where Haida culture and ancestral traditions continue today. Visiting these sites and the Watchmen are highlights for travellers.
In Haida culture, monumental poles are living members of the community that pass down stories and history. Listen to the new podcast The Living Landscapes of SGang Gwaay and let this unique site and its history come to life.
Yahguudang: respect. It is at the core of Haida law and one of Gwaii Haanas’ guiding principles.
When visiting, it is important to carry this ideal with you in every step you take and every wave you crest.
Plan your visit to be informed, then come prepared and willing to learn. Gwaii Haanas looks forward to your respectful visit!
Haida Gwaii, British Columbia
