In this episode we talk about the deeply spiritual and cultural treasures of the Guaihanes region in Haida Gwaii. Norman Shaffer sits down with Gidinjad, a veteran of the Watchman Program, to uncover the stories of Skedans, Windy Bay, Hot Springs Island, and other village sites that lie scattered like whispers along the British Columbia coast. These aren't just archaeological remnants—they are sacred living spaces still pulsing with ancestral spirit and Haida pride. The episode delves into how these locations continue to guide the Haida people and visitors alike, from the echo of drums on North Beach to children channeling ancient songs in the moonlight.

We explore the role of the Haida Watchmen, the healing power of land-based culture, and the way that every visitor is offered not just a tour, but a spiritual experience. Gidinjad recounts decades of working at these sites—bringing his grandchildren, guiding elders, and witnessing moments of profound transformation.
