˜Haida Indian Culture and History –

As a complement to our Haida language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Haida tribe and their society. Please note that Haidas and other American Indians are living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Haida history is interesting and important, but the Haida Indians are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday. Please contact us if you have a Haida link to add.
