The Haida Memories exhibition casts light on the rich heritage of the northern Haida from Haida Gwaii, British Columbia. Ancient Haida society, matrilineal in structure, was traditionally divided into two clans, Ravens and Eagles. Families with common ancestry formed lineages and inherited property, titles, names, crests, masks and even songs. There are fifteen such lineages, each with its own myths, histories and cultural heroes. Their stories are told with the help of thousands of photographs generously shared for this exhibition by over two dozen community members and organizations.
