This gallery features images from Haida Gwaii, aka the Queen Charlotte Islands and includes images of totem poles and art from Skidegate, Old Massett and Queen Charlotte City. This group of islands, nestled under the Alaska panhandle, is the ancestral home of the Haida - the West Coast Aboriginals who have lived here for thousands of years.
Skedans is an abandoned prehistorical village on Haida Gwaii. Totems, with the bodies of Haida inside, were left to fall back into the earth just as they were meant to do before Europeans came.
