Nan Sdins (SGang Gwaay World Heritage Site)
For 10,000 years the Haida people flourished on the island archipelago located 130 km (80.8 mi) off the coast of British Columbia. Known as the Queen Charlotte Islands or Haida Gwaii (Place of Wonder), this land and its surrounding waters provided a viable livelihood for 7,000 Haida people.
Situated on the east side of Anthony Island, the village of Nan Sdins, an autonomous political empire, prospered for 6,000 years. These 300 people were known as brave warriors, accomplished hunters and fishermen, as well as proficient artists. The long houses, totem poles, canoes and masks belonging to this group were decorated with distinctive and stunning artwork.
In the 18th century European explorers arrived at the island's deep bay. Tragically, accompanying the Europeans was small pox, which would eventually decimate this community leaving only 30 survivors.
In response to this unthinkable catastrophe, the people of Haida built mortuary totem poles to commemorate the lost lives. Adorned with painted carvings, the poles were arranged along the ocean and each individual's remains placed in a hollow at the top of the pole.
The totem poles and remains of the Haida village were officially declared an UNESCO world heritage in 1981.

Fort St. James National Historic Site
Fort St. James was built by the North West Company in 1806, the second permanent fur trading post established west of the Rocky Mountains. The fur trade was a thriving and powerful industry in British Columbia’s past and Fort St. James succeeded to become the region’s headquarters, also serving as a distribution centre to surrounding outposts for incoming goods from eastern Canada and Europe. Fort St. James ceased operations in 1952.
Restored to its 1896 way of life, the site protects the largest group of original wooden fur trade buildings in the country. Fort St. James welcomes visitors to step back in time and discover the stories waiting inside the revived buildings, furnished as they were in the late 19th century. Learn about the relationship between the traders and First Nations and discover what life was like for the people who worked and lived within the fort walls. Demonstrations, costumed interpreters, displays and interactive exhibits reveal an important part of Canada’s history that spans approximately 150 years.
The Fort St. James National Historic Site is open from the Victoria Day long weekend in May to the end of September. A visitor centre, souvenir shop and café are on-site.
