MASSET, BC., CANADA

"I go now to the wilderness to be a part of it; to accept my place in the world and its place in me; to grow into reality as a tree grows into the rain, to conform to the Earth as a stream conforms to the stones of its bed. To live. To aspire. To be..." -William Ashworth

Hadai Gwaii has been the home to the Hadai in the islands, going back over 13,000 years. Their population was in the tens of thousands, but after contact with explorers and settlers, measles, smallpox and typhoid , their numbers fell dramatically. Explorer Juan Perez, first discovered these islands around 1774. Fur traders were the first visitors, then missionaries and settlers.
