Haida

The Haida are an Indigenous people primarily from the Haida Gwaii archipelago in British Columbia, Canada, and parts of Alaska. They have a rich cultural heritage, renowned for their intricate wood carvings, totem poles, and vibrant art that reflects their connection to nature and spirituality. The Haida language is part of the Na-Dené family, and their society traditionally thrived on fishing, hunting, and gathering. Today, the Haida continue to advocate for their rights, preserve their language, and revitalize their cultural practices, contributing significantly to the broader discussions on Indigenous sovereignty and environmental stewardship.
