Haida Heritage Centre at Kay Llnagaay

Through the Haida Heritage Centre at Kay Llnagaay we celebrate the living culture of the Haida. Through our language, art and stories we share our relationship with the land and sea that which shapes, nourishes and sustains us. Kay Llnagaay protects and fosters Haida culture by reaffirming our traditions and beliefs, encouraging artistic expression, and serving as a keeper of all that we are. Kay Llnagaay is a place for the Haida voice to be heard. The Haida Gwaii Museum opened in 1976 and continues to build an international reputation for showcasing Haida historical and contemporary art, All-Island artists and an outstanding collection of objects, artifacts and scientific material culture. The Museum is committed to encouraging and facilitating creative dialogue and exploring a more holistic and critical view of the multiple and diverse ways of understanding Haida Gwaii — home to one of the most prominent Northwest Coast First Nations cultures (Haida), and rich ecosystems in Canada.

We found we needed two visits to do justice to this amazing centre and still felt we'd love to return! We went first when we were at the beginning of our visit to Haida Gwaii and then we returned just before we left. So much to learn and experience here...not enough time. Definitely a must must must!

I had heard about this store and must say, it was even better in real life! They had beautiful first nation art & jewellery, lots of amazing crystals & just tons of cool stuff! it seems like it is in the middle of nowhere, a gem tuck away, with a little stone circle inviting you in. They do have a cabin for rent & I would love to go back & stay there....... Crystal Cabin is like finding a unicorn!!!!!
