The archipelago of Haida Gwaii, off the central coast of British Columbia, is a place born of upheaval, formed by retreating glaciers, rising oceans and shifting tectonic plates. And the islands’ original inhabitants, the Haida, have shown almost geologic resilience in adapting, regrouping and poising for resurgence. In the April 2010 issue of Canadian Geographic, discover how two recent transformations — the expansion of a protected area to be jointly managed by the Haida and the federal government, and the official adoption of the name Haida Gwaii over the colonial “Queen Charlotte Islands” — aim to restore a balance that has always defined the Haida’s relationship with the enduring wilderness of these islands.
PLUS: board a frigate for 72 hours of close-quarters camaraderie in the North Atlantic on the eve of the Canadian Navy’s centennial; and join a Canadian photographer on his trip back home to an industrial corner of Ontario to document small-town resilience. |
