Notes

Haida argillite carvings, produced over roughly 180 years, serve as a continuous cultural record that expresses the history, values, and worldview of the Haida. They reflect both the prosperity of Haida society and the devastating impacts of colonial disruption, while also conveying the people’s resilience and determination to maintain their identity and cultural continuity.
