Summary:
Haida
Gwaii
, a group of islands off the northwest coast of what is now called
British
Columbia
, is home to a rich and vibrant culture whose origins date back thousands of years. Today, the
Haida
People are known throughout Canada and the world for their artistic achievements, their commitment to social justice and environmental protection, and their deep connection to the natural world. Embedded in
Haida
culture and drawn from ancient oral narratives are a number of Supernatural Beings, many of them female, who embody these connections to the land, the sea, and the sky. Magical Beings of
Haida
Gwaii
features ten of these ancient figures and presents them to children as visually engaging, empowering, and meaningful examples of how to live in balance with nature. Based on authentic
Haida
narratives and developed by renowned
Haida
activist, lawyer, performer, and artist Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson and
Haida
educator Sara Florence Davidson, this book challenges stereotypes, helps advance reconciliation, and celebrates
Indigenous
identity and culture.
