Exhibitions

Keeping Our Way of Life

This large vaulted area addresses Haida contemporary life and initiatives that have contributed to Haida culture and society including exhibits on the Haida repatriation movement, the historic and contemporary role of the Council of the Haida Nation, the Haida language program, traditional Haida social organization and four exhibits addressing different aspects of Haida art, design and weaving. An open storage area provides visitors with visual access to approximately 85% of the museum’s collections of Haida artifacts. Three historic Haida house frontal poles were raised in this gallery in late 2006.
