Haida Art

Haida art

 
Haida art is the traditional art form of the Haida people, an Indigenous group from the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America, specifically the Haida Gwaii archipelago in Canada and parts of Alaska. Haida art is characterized by its intricate woodcarvings, totem poles, masks, and jewelry, often featuring depictions of animals, spirits, and mythological creatures. These artworks are known for their bold, curvilinear designs and use of natural elements like cedar wood and abalone shell inlays. Haida art reflects the rich cultural and spiritual traditions of the Haida people and continues to be an important part of their heritage.
