The 2010 Haida Gwaii Reconciliation Act changed the name of these islands from Queen Charlotte Islands to Haida Gwaii, which translates as the "islands of the people" in the language of the native Haida tribes. Located about 145km off the west coast of British Columbia, Haida Gwaii is also known as the Canadian Galapagos. There is a profusion of endemic wildlife to be found here, including Sitka deer, whales, sea otters, bears, and dolphins. You can already enjoy vistas of moss-clad rainforests and craggy coastlines when approaching the island by boat. A vacation home is an excellent base for a holiday in Haida Gwaii.
