About the Artist

"The Haida are an indigenous nation of the west coast of North America. The Haida territories comprise an archipelago called Haida Gwaii, off the coast of British Columbia And southeast of Alaska. Their main archipelago is commonly known by the European Applied name, the Queen Charlotte Islands. The Haida are commonly referred to in Canada as being a First Nations "band". Their ancestral language is the Haida language, which has never been adequately classified by linquists because of its uniqueness. In addition to those Haida residing on Haida Gwaii and in Alaska, there are also many Haidas in various urban areas in the western United States and Canada."
