Saahlinda Naay - the Haida Gwaii Museum – opened in 1976 and continues to build an international reputation for it’s work in and dedication to Haida historical and contemporary language art and culture, and the creative work of all-island artists. Saahlinda Naay is committed to truth-telling, healing and reparation, and finding ways to co-exist. Through our work, we encourage and facilitate creative dialogue and exploring holistic and critical views through the multiple and diverse ways of understanding Haida Gwaii.
The Haida Gwaii Museum is committed to using art as a means of facilitating creative dialogue that encourages a holistic and critical exploration of the multiple, diverse ways to understand Haida Gwaii. As the only cultural facility on Haida Gwaii designated as a category ”A” museum (and only one of 12 museums in BC with this designation) we are enabled to bring the work of regional, national and international artists to this isolated community. In this way, the museum serves the population of Haida Gwaii and is both a regional and community museum where the rich and diverse stories of Haida Gwaii are kept and told for people of today, as well as for future generations.
Our two temporary spaces are equipped with a modular exhibit system designed to present temporary art exhibitions and/or traveling exhibitions.
The Permanent Galleries feature a world-class collection of Haida art from the late 1700s to today, including the works of Bill Reid, Robert Davidson, James Hart, Isabel Rorick, Evelyn Vanderhoop, Charles Edenshaw, and many other talented artists.
