Sɢ̲aay Taw Siiwaay K’adjuu Conservancy

Access to Sɢ̲aay Taw Siiwaay K’adjuu Heritage Site/Conservancy is difficult and is primarily by floatplane or helicopter. Forest Service roads on Moresby Island are in the vicinity, and overland hiking access is possible for those experienced in route finding. Takakia Lake is relatively small and floatplane access can be difficult for some aircraft under certain loads, but it is the only alpine lake accessible by floatplane outside of Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site (where landing floatplanes on lakes is prohibited).Protection of Sɢ̲aay Taw Siiwaay K’adjuu Heritage Site/Conservancy will help to preserve and maintain the ongoing social and ceremonial use of these cultural features, focusing on protecting harvesting and hunting areas and their associated cultural and biological values. It will provide for present and future Haida access to those areas for social, ceremonial and cultural purposes.
