ReplyDeleteGwaii Haanas is known as one of the premier sea kayaking and boating destinations in the world. The Park provides the opportunity to explore a wilderness area with a rich First Nations heritage. Visitors can witness the Haida First Nations s incredible carved cedar poles standing in their original locations, observe nature in a virtually undisturbed setting, and experience a solitude that is becoming more and more difficult to find.
Together, the Government of Canada and the Council of the Haida Nation manage the special place called Gwaii Haanas (Place of Wonder) through a unique agreement signed in 1993. The two parties strongly agree on the need to protect Gwaii Haanas, even though the question of ownership is unresolved. Gwaii Haanas celebrates the rugged beauty and rich ecology of the Pacific coast and the Haida’s intertwined connection with the land and sea.
