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.

We are gratefully supported through volunteers, grant funding, and private donors.
