Supernatural House – ‘In the Beginning’

• Haidas believe Humans are a direct result of the supernatural and natural. Since Supernatural beings helped create Haida Gwaii and its people, we’ll begin the journey with them - exploring histories such as:

• The Ice Age
• The Flood
• Raven Walking series
• Supernatural Beings coming out of concealment
• Foam Woman
• JiiLAA KUNS

• Though these stories tell mostly of our past, Supernatural beings continue to affect our world today, and we accept them as a part of our daily lives.

• Dynamic, theatrical, and dramatic displays are achieved by using exhibit techniques that create the illusion of ‘supernatural’ environments - where things can appear and disappear - as if by magic.
