Native artist Bill Reid once called Haida Gwaii, home to the Haida people, the "Shining Islands." This revised edition in Raincoast's popular Journeys series shows why. Known also as "Canada’s Galápagos," these islands are a natural marvel, featuring awesome vistas and a rich ecosystem. The islands also offer more than 400 cultural sites, including the UNESCO World Heritage village of Ninstints. Ian Gill's lively text and David Nunuk's dramatic photographs celebrate this unique, still relatively unspoiled place.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A super help for my coming trip,
By Betty Wright (Anacortes, WA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Haida Gwaii: Journeys Through the Queen Charlotte Islands (Paperback)
I purchased this book before I took a sailboat tour of Haida Gwaii. It certainly brought out many things I would NOT have known if I hadn't read it first. It was very helpful and i will remain in my library as a strong book for Haida Gwaii. My cruise took us to 6 ancient sites we would never have found if we had tried this on our own. I positively encourage people to take a tour where the tour includes hiking to the ancient sites. You'll never find them on your own I always make a complete notebook of where I've traveled and this book gave me so many important facts about the Islands that I didn't have to record on paper as I was on the tour. It was a big help for writing my story after the cruise. However, I still believe you shouldn't try to do his on your own. You just won't find some of those hidden ancient sites without a knowledgeable guide. Betty.
