Haidas Legends and Customs of the Queen Charlotte Islands

The Haidas' past customs include dances with carved headgear and eagle down used to signal peace. They obtained fire by friction, arranged marriages via the devil doctor, and older tradition kept wives living with their in-law families. Winter huts caused respiratory diseases due to crowding and poor ventilation, with cures driven by Saagga faith and imagination rather than drugs.
