Until the turn of the 19th century, the Haidas’ distinctive ocean-going canoe was at the heart of their connections to the sea. Carved from giant red cedars and steamed into the classical Haida canoe form, these canoes were a vital aspect of Haida culture and economy, facilitating long distance travel, offshore fishing and sea mammal hunting.

CONT

The return of traditional ocean-going canoe travels emerged in 1989 when nine traditional cedar dug-out canoes made their journey to the Port of Seattle.

Jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle, les grandes pirogues de mer étaient au cœur du lien des Haïdas avec l'océan. Creusées dans les grands cèdres rouges, dont le bois était traité à la vapeur pour prendre la forme élégante de la pirogue haïda classique, ces belles embarcations étaient essentielles à la culture et à la vie économique : longs voyages, pêches en haute mer et chasse aux mammifères marins.

OBS

Most of the soft-bodied anthozoans known as "sea anemones" are classified in the Actinaria. Actinarians have generally column-shaped bodies with the mouth at one end, and the pedal disk--a muscular organ for attachment to substrates--at the other. The mouth is on a corresponding structure, the oral disk, which is ringed with rows of tentacles. Actinarian anemones can reproduce either sexually or asexually, but they do not form true colonies with permanent tissue connections between members.
