Description : In the past, Haida Watchmen were posted at strategic positions around a village to raise the alarm in advance of an approaching enemy. Watchmen also crowned poles as carved figures protecting the village from evil spirits. Today, from spring until autumn, the Haida Gwaii Watchmen serve as guardians at the following old village sites:

* K,uuna Llnagaay (Skedans)
* T,aanuu Llnagaay (Tanu)
* Hlk,yah GaawGa (Windy Bay)
* Gandll K,in Gwaayaay (Hotspring Island)
* SGang Gwaay (Anthony Island).
