That Which Makes Us Haida


An interview with Nika Collison, one of the major influencing forces in my life right now, on That Which Makes Us Haida, an incredible book and currently also a new exhibit at the Bill Reid Gallery at MOA. The Haida language revival process here is an amazing thing to see; I've been very lucky to see inside the Skidegate Haida Immersion Program (SHIP) which is the school that Nika talks a bit about in the interview. It's an amazing group of Elders and teachers working tirelessly to save, preserve and revive their language. I'm learning tiny bits here and there and loving every minute of it.
