EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Haida culture in Canada. The image showcases a row of majestic totem poles standing proudly in front of traditional houses in the Haida village of Haina, also known as New Gold Harbour. Taken by Richard Maynard around 1884, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the late 19th-century British Columbia. The intricate carvings on these totem poles are a testament to the rich artistic tradition and deep-rooted tribal heritage of the Haida First Nation. Each pole tells its own unique story through symbolic figures and designs, representing ancestral spirits or significant events within their community. The photo's monochromatic tone adds an air of nostalgia, transporting viewers back in time when these towering wooden structures were still freshly crafted. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by indigenous communities like the Haida people. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize and honor the cultural significance it holds for generations past and present.
