The Haida: Children of Eagle and Raven ___"The
Haida of the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii) have fascinated all

and rich in artistic expression, which displayed a fine and fulfilling
balance between man and the natural and supernatural worlds. With
continued exposure to the pressures, both spiritual and material, of
European culture this balance was disrupted, and the traditional Haida
way of life came close to extinction. Today, however, the Haida regard
their future with hope, bolstered by recent developments that hold great
potential for reinforcing their cultural revival." - Illustrated - From
