Haida Heritage Centre, Heritage centre in Skidegate, Canada
The Haida Heritage Centre extends over 50,000 square feet with a series of cedar longhouses connected by an atrium on Graham Island.
The facility opened its doors in July 2007 after extensive planning that began in the 1990s through the Qay'llnagaay Heritage Centre Society.
Six traditional totem poles stand at the centre, each representing different villages of Skidegate: Chaatl, Cumshewa, Skedans, SGang Gwaii, and Tanu.
The centre welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Saturday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with adult admission at 18 dollars and child tickets at 6 dollars.
The Performance House accommodates 250 people while the Bill Reid Teaching Centre provides educational spaces for Haida apprentices to learn traditional crafts.

British Columbia stretches from the Pacific coast to the Rocky Mountains, offering geological diversity and varied ecosystems. The region includes geothermal springs such as Liard River Hot Springs and Keyhole Hot Springs, ancient coastal forests at Cathedral Grove and Carmanah Walbran, and tide pools at Botanical Beach. The territory contains volcanic formations at Spotted Lake, fjords like Princess Louisa Inlet, and waterfalls including Takakkaw Falls and Hunlen Falls. Provincial parks such as Cape Scott, Mount Edziza, and Valhalla protect extensive wilderness areas. The natural features range from cave systems like Cody Caves to fossil beds at Burgess Shale, which preserve Cambrian marine life. First Nations cultural sites, including the Haida Heritage Centre and Stein Valley Nlaka'pamux Heritage Park, provide insight into Indigenous history and land stewardship. Coastal stretches like Sombrio Beach and Combers Beach, along with marine protected areas such as Desolation Sound, offer access to Pacific waters. The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver represents historic Chinese landscape design. Visitors find hiking trails through old-growth forests, suspension bridges over gorges, and remote mountain lakes across this geographically diverse province.
