Kun⨱alas Heritage Site/Conservancy
British Columbia
The people of the Haida Nation have occupied and collected food and materials from Kun⨱alas since time immemorial. This heritage site/conservancy protects cultural values associated with the Cumshewa Peninsula. There are five historic villages or seasonal camps within the area: La’naiya, Kundji, Cumshewas, Koga (Qa’gal) and Kunhalas.There is also a regionally significant hiking trail along the coast, easily accessed by road at Gray Bay that connects a variety of beaches. Trails also lead to Sheldens Lagoon (Dogfish Beach has remnants of a dam and a settler’s cabin from 1907) and Secret Cove (an easy 1 km hike to a remote beach). A popular frontcountry camping area and day-use site is located at Gray Bay.Other recreational sites of interest include the remains of an old store (1869) at McCoy Cove, the site of a Loran communications tower at Gray Point and a navigational light at Kingui Island.The terrestrial component of the heritage site/conservancy covers 3,360 hectares. The elevation range is from sea level to 417 metres. The marine component/foreshore area covers an area of 12,358 hectares. The marine foreshore area protects a variety of coastal marine values, including areas of extensive kelp beds, several small seabird colonies and northern abalone and geoduck habitat. The marine component is an area of high biodiversity, including an extensive kelp forest in Fairbains Shoal that is a unique feature along the east coast of Moresby Island.
