In Silence
rests the memory
of yesterday's love...

The Queen Charlotte Islands sit on the western edge of the North American continental plate. At their southern tip lies the old village of Ninstints, the most important village of the Kunghit Haida. The village of Ninstints is a hauntingly beautiful group of totem poles, poignant memorial to the richness of Haida culture.

The eastern coast is relatively sheltered and dotted with islands. Collectively, the islands contain several life zones ranging from a coastal temperate rainforest of cedar and giant Sitka spruce, to a mountain zone of hemlock and alpine tundra.

About 750,000 seabirds breed in these islands; millions more stop here at some point during spring and fall migrations. It is the only confirmed nesting site in Canada for horned puffins. There are more eagle nests per kilometre of shoreline than anywhere else in Canada and the highest breeding density of Peregrine falcons in the world.
