along the queen charlotte fault an active transform fault that produces significant earthquakes every 3 30 years this is the result of the converging of the pacific and north american plates along the archipelago s west coast 71 72 major earthquakes have occurred in the haida gwaii in 1949 and 2012 though the region is prone to fair geological activity there is little infrastructure set up to gather accurate information to warn locals of possible threats many residents notably from first nations communities have been critical of the fact that they must rely on information coming from neighbouring american states such as washington or alaska and from the usgs united states geological survey regardless of the inconsistencies environment canada does regularly do field tests across the pacific coast of british columbia relating to this matter the cascadia subduction zone does pose some additional earthquake risks but most importantly the subduction zone poses direct tsunami risks to the coastal settlements on the western side of the islands culture edit totem pole visual arts edit main article northwest coast art the artwork known as spirit of haida gwaii by bill reid is featured on the reverse of canadian 20 bills produced between 2004 and 2011 73 it depicts a haida chief in a canoe accompanied by the mythic messengers raven frog and eagle the first casting of this sculpture spirit of haida gwaii the black canoe is on display in the atrium of the canadian embassy in washington dc the other spirit of haida gwaii the jade canoe is on display in vancouver airport haida art is also frequently seen on large monumental sized cedar totem poles and dugout canoes hand crafted gold and silver jewellery and even as cartoons in the form of haida manga repatriation of cultural belongings edit the haida have been engaged in an ongoing repatriation effort bringing belongings remains back to their ancestral homelands since the 1990s 74 much of this battle is influenced by the number of remains taken from the island due to haida remains being popular among collectors in the late 19th century 75 repatriation to the haida is more than a return of belongings remains but a shared healing and grieving process that integrates aspects of haida culture ceremony language and song repatriation refers to the return of ancestors spirits to their homelands to rest 75 in haida practices the ancestors must be cared for so much effort goes into preparing and following protocols to bring them home though there are no traditional protocols for repatriation as this was not historically necessary much work was done with elders and community members to determine culturally appropriate ways to bring home remains and belongings 76 the community decided it would be important to include the making and preparation of traditional bentwood boxes woven cedar and button blankets to wrap the ancestors 77 alongside this ceremony was held at both the museum where remains were collected and in the haida s home territory to lay the ancestors to rest 78 a noteworthy repatriation happened in the early 2000s when the haida repatriation committee supported the repatriation of about 150 remains and other belongings from the field museum in chicago 78 this was an important event in the haida nation and has left its mark on their cultural resurgence and community healing during the ceremony for this specific repatriation the community also recognized many of the babies born this year highlighting the return of ancestors and the continued generations and resiliency of the haida 78 the buxton museum and art gallery in england repatriated items in its collection to the haida people the museum returned the items as part of its initiative to return native american and first nation artefacts 79 haida language edit main article haida language the haida language was proposed for classification as part of the na dene family of languages on the basis of a few similarities with athabaskan eyak tlingit many linguists however consider the evidence insufficient and continue to regard haida as a language isolate all 50 remaining speakers of haida are over 70 years old citation needed needs update telus communications and gwaii trust recently completed a project to bring broadband internet to the island via a 150 km 93 mi microwave relay this enables
