A Beach on Haida Gwaii
Naikoon Park
At Naikoon, a long beach stretches beside dunes. Driftwood rests on the sand. Birds explore Haida Gwaii’s shore between the ocean and forest.
Did you know?
Haida Gwaii is the ancestral homeland of the Haida people.
Look together
What traces can water leave on a beach?
An idea to try
Imagine a wave reaching the driftwood, then pulling away.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
Naikoon protects beaches, dunes and other Haida Gwaii habitats. Haida relationships with these islands are long-standing and continue today. This composed landscape does not represent a historical village. Haida resources offer ways to learn from their own perspectives.
