Haida language family area

The dense forests of the interior of the Queen Charlotte Islands, northern British Columbia, had little game, but the deeply indented coastline was frequented by shoals of salmon and halibut, and by sea otters, sea lions and fur seals, so the Haida were almost wholly dependent on the sea for their livelihood. The Haida were mighty hunters on the sea, and captured more fur seals and sea otters than any other tribe along the Pacific Coast. (IC)
