Haida Gwaii Watchmen

The Haida Gwaii Watchmen Program encourages young Haida to work alongside elders to protect and teach visitors about Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site. The program is co-managed by the Council of the Haida Nation and Parks Canada. The Watchmen ensure that Haida cultural, historical, and natural tourism stays in the hands of the Haida people. The program consists of 2-4 Watchmen who live and work as guardians, watching over each site in Gwaii Haanas. Three human figure with traditional Haida hats represent the Haida Watchmen.
