Haida Gwaii Episode 8: Next Stop – SG̱ang Gwaay, the Soul of Haida Gwaii

In this episode, we talk about a place that should be next on your list if you seek depth, history, and awe-inspiring culture: SG̱ang Gwaay. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a rare view into Haida civilization, with preserved mortuary poles, ancestral homes, and traditions still alive through people like Watchman Teresa Russ. Book your journey into Haida heritage at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://farandawayadventures.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Discover how you can walk through living Haida stories at Far and Away Adventures.com

Teresa’s reflections on being raised in Haida customs—harvesting cedar, creating formline art, and preserving sacred sites—bring this remote village vividly to life. Learn how this site was protected after decades of advocacy and why it remains a symbol of the Haida people’s strength.

For travelers wondering “where to go next,” SG̱ang Gwaay offers more than scenery—it offers significance.
