Haida Gwaii, ancestral home of the Haida First Nation, was once as inaccessible and mysterious as it was beautiful. The tight cluster of islands off British Columbias northwest coast remained virtually untouchable for millennia, allowing its people to develop a distinct and exceptional cultural identity that was known and revered across the region. Today, Haida Gwaiia name that means islands of the people in the Haida languagehas piqued the interest of world travellers. Its magnificent beaches, unique flora and fauna, and world heritage sites have earned international acclaim. Gwaii Haanas National Park in the southern region of the archipelago was named Best National Park in North America by National Geographic Traveler.

As the fourth edition of Haida Gwaii is readied for release, the author and Heritage House would like to acknowledge the many individuals who volunteered their time and expertise with advice and proofreading. All of them helped make the earlier editions readable, accurate and up-to-date as possible. While accepting final responsibility for any errors or omissions that may have occurred, Id like to thank the following people, who helped make this latest edition current.
We would like to extend our thanks to Maggie Stronge from Parks Canada. She willingly reviewed the entire Gwaii Haanas section and helped ensure that the latest changes in the park policy and guidelines were reflected in the text.
Lucy Stefanyk from BC Parks once again reviewed the Naikoon Park chapters and advised us of trail, camping and BC Parks information.
Andrew Meriless, the new mayor of Masset, kept us current with political and economic issues throughout the islands.
Simone Clark, Executive Director of the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce, was very helpful with the introduction to the City of Prince Rupert.
This guide was first released in 1989. The first and subsequent additions were made even better by many people living on Haida Gwaii who willing gave of their time to make sure I maintained accuracy and stayed current in all areas of the islands. I also relied on authors who wrote about the islands, researchers, commercial fishers, biologists, archaeologists, BC Forest Service, loggers, geologists, DFO personnel, cyclists, proof-readers, camp cooks and those with computer expertise. I continue to thank you for sharing your expertise.

By 1984 most of us were using this standard, much to the confusion of our U.S. visitors and those Canadians who felt they were too old to bother learning new tricks. For the uninitiated, here are the abbreviations and conversions for the metric weights and measures that appear in this book.
