Learn about the Haida mode of travel, transportation, food/resource gathering and trade by exploring the history and importance of canoes in Haida lives.

Haidas were fierce warriors and well-known coastal travellers, having ventured to Victoria for trading purposes in earlier times during the 1800s. Critical to the success of Haida culture, without canoes, the Haida would not have been able to trade with neighbouring coast First Nations; or travel between communities on Haida Gwaii.
