Our Vision

We know that traditional canoes are vital to Haida cultural revitalization.  We help people connect with their culture by carving new canoes in the style of the old masters, using them on ocean voyages as our ancestors did, and documenting new and ancient vessels for future generations.

Carve

We carve and teach others to create traditional Haida canoes, some of the most sophisticated dugout vessels in history.

Journey

We travel with teams of paddlers on ocean voyages across routes our ancestors once used.

Document

Using modern technology, we make lines drawings and 3D images of new and ancient canoes.

Mission Statement

The purpose of Haida Canoe Revitalization Group (HCRG) is to enhance people's lives through the process of making and using indigenous Haida style canoes.

​

This organization is intended to facilitate this revitalization by seeking funding for all things pertaining to Haida canoe culture.

​

This includes, but is not limited to, information gathering and sharing as well as the creation and use of Haida canoes.

WHO WE ARE >

The Haida Canoe Revitalization Group is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

​

We work to ensure the preservation and sustained use of the great canoes that once controlled the seas of Haida country.  Canoes have been vital to Haida people and surrounding cultures for thousands of years.  The influence of our connection to the sea reaches into the depths of our language, customs, and social organization.
