Secluded and storm-swept, the Gwaii Haanas Archipelago is a magical place. The Park is made up of 138 islands in the Queen Charlottes, off the rugged northern coast of British Columbia. The Haida people call their islands "Haida Gwaii"; which means "a place of wonder." The most significant cultural resource in the park is the mortuary totem poles at Ninstints; declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.
