Haida People - Location

Location

Haida territories lie in both Canada and the United States, as do those of the Tlingit and Tsimshian peoples. Their heartland is the two large and many smaller islands known as Haida Gwaii, which means "land of the people" in Haida. This archipelago was surveyed in 1787 by Captain George Dixon of the British Navy. They were named the Queen Charlotte Islands by Captain Dixon after one of his ships, the Queen Charlotte, which was named after Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III of the United Kingdom. They lived in the deep, dense forest of British Columbia.They live near any body of water particularly a ocean with a beach

Haida also live in Southeast Alaska (such as the southern half of Prince of Wales Island), and also in cities of British Columbia and the western United States.
