I am looking at the pre-colonial history of the Indigenous people of each province.
Today, I am focusing on the Haida people of northwestern B.C.
The Haida have occupied the archipelago off the coast of British Columbia for at least 12,500 years.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary
(The irony - I joined Twitter because we were trying to find a missing friend and needed publicity. So my anniversary on this site is irrevocably entwined with that trauma ❤️💔❤️ - and yes, she was found 🥰)
