Book excerpt: Haida Gwaii, ancestral home of the Haida Nation, was once as inaccessible and mysterious as it was beautiful. The tight cluster of islands off British Columbia's northwest coast remained virtually untouchable for millennia, allowing its people to develop a distinct and exceptional cultural identity that was revered across the region. Today, Haida Gwaii--a name that means "islands of the people" in the Haida language--has piqued the interest of world travellers. Applying his in-depth knowledge of the islands' geography, social history, and natural and cultural attractions, Dennis Horwood equips travellers with everything they need to know about visiting these gems of the Pacific.
