On the rainforest islands of Gwaii Haanas, in Haida Gwaii, moss-draped cedar and Sitka spruce tower over the Haida people’s historic carved poles and fallen longhouses. Bald eagles, bears, whales, porpoises and sea lions live here. The land and sea are protected by Parks Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Haida, and Haida Gwaii Watchmen share Haida culture at five village sites.
