THE CHARLOTTES Volume 5, by The Queen Charlotte Islands Museum Society, Volume 5, is a wonderful collection of stories that showcased the 'progress' the european settlers were making living in the Queen Charlotte Islands, now proudly named Haida Gwaii.
DID YOU KNOW? The Haida Gwaii Museum is the result of one of the earliest, if not the earliest, steps towards tl’l yahda (“making things right,” or reconciliation) in the world of Indigenous peoples and museums. A vision of both Haidas and Canadians residing on Haida Gwaii, our museum society was founded in 1971. At that time, it was called the Queen Charlotte Islands Museum Society. The Queen Charlotte Island Museum itself was then opened in the community of Skidegate (HlGaagilda) in 1976. -IndigenousCulturalHeritageHaidaGwaii.pdf By Gid yahk’ii (Sean Young)
