Massive moss-draped cedar and Sitka spruce tower above the Haida people’s ancient carved poles and fallen longhouses on the lush rainforest islands of Gwaii Haanas. Skies fill with bald eagles, bears scavenge salmon on wild beaches and the ocean teems with breaching whales, porpoises and sea lions. Experience a rich, remote landscape and seascape steeped in spirituality, protected by Parks Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Haida who draw cultural inspiration from the land and waters of their ancestors. À Gwaii Haanas, admirez des cèdres et des épinettes de Sitka majestueusement drapés de mousse qui dominent les anciens mâts sculptés et les vestiges des maisons traditionnelles haïdas. Observez les pygargues à tête blanche qui sillonnent le ciel et les ours qui s'alimentent de saumons sur les plages sauvages d'un océan qui regorge aussi de baleines, de marsouins et de lions de mer. Découvrez un monde et une mer luxuriant, retiré et empreint de spiritualité. Cette terre ancestrale est un lieu de ressourcement pour les haïdas, dont le conseil de la nation, Parcs Canada, et Pêches et Océans Canada (MPO), veillent à sa protection.
