“As unique as the land and the water that gave birth to it, Xaayda kil / Xaad kil is not just a language, it is a different way of thinking. It is Haida knowledge, history and wisdom stored. It defines our intrinsic relationship to the lands, waters, airways and Supernatural Beings of Haida Gwaii: that which makes us Haida” -Jisgang, Nika Collison
Gina 'Waadluxan Tluu/ The Everything Canoe
The Everything Canoe offers insights from carvers, elders, artists and voices from the past on the great cedar canoes-from how supernaturals first gave the technology to the Haida, to how carvers find a tree that will eventually become an ocean going vessel, to tips about design and steaming and how the canoe has influenced everything from food gathering and trade to the Haida Language.

Generated solely by Haida scholars, this anthology contains the personal stories, cultural knowledge and impressive talent of many accomplished artists, orators and writers. –Nika Collison
