Description : For more than 10,000 years the Haida thrived on these coastal islands off northern British Columbia. Then, in 1863, small pox introduced by a European traveller virtually wiped them out. Today, about 15 per cent of the Queen Charlotte Islands is protected as a National Park Reserve and Heritage site. Protected but, at the request of the Haida, not artificially preserved.
