CARIBOO CHILCOTIN & NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA Te Sacred One Standing By Heather Ramsay
T
he Gwaii Haanas Legacy Pole brings new energy to the continuum of
monumental art on Haida Gwaii. Carved out of centuries-old red cedar, these monumental works once lined the beaches in Haida villages. Poles mark the lives, accomplishments, and deaths of great chiefs and matriarchs, along with the histories of clans, family lineages and community events. Tis 42-foot monumental pole was
commissioned by a unique cooperative management board made up of equal numbers of the Haida Nation and the Government of Canada. Known as the Archipelago Management Board, the body is renowned throughout the world as a model for cultural and natural resource governance. Te pole was carved to honour the 20th anniversary of the Gwaii Haanas Agreement, the cornerstone of the groundbreaking relationship. Te pole was raised in remote Windy
Bay on Lyell Island in Gwaii Haanas (accessible by boat or float plane only) on August 15, 2013 and visitors are welcome to visit this new attraction. Jaalen Edenshaw, along with his
