HAIDA GWAII - Islands of the People (1990 documentary film)

  • Опубліковано 25 лют 2020
  • Produced by the BBC in 1990
    Director and Cinematographer: Jeff Goodman
    Series Producer: Mike Salisbury
    Narrator: May Russ
    Featuring: Guujaaw and Jaalen Edenshaw
    NOTE: This film my favourite one about Haida Gwaii because it captures the feeling of the place. Made in 1990, it was way ahead of its time in that it presents Haida Gwaii from the perspective of the Haida (and features primarily Haida people in the film). Kudos to Jeff Goodman, the British filmmaker, for going to battle with the BBC brass in order to have the story told this way. Guujaaw had a pivotal role in how the film was directed; he was Jeff Goodman's main collaborator.

    Some touching sentences of this beautiful documentary: "The lesson of Haida culture is that mankind can live and prosper on the earth without having to screw it up." "There can be harmony between human beings and the natural world." "Technology today has changed our lives and attitudes within the world around us, but technology today does not reflect wisdom or intelligence."

    Seeing the destruction of the majestic tree people hurt. My heart cried. They give so much and are not thanked. My tree people are gorgeous. They give great advice and have names. When did you last spend time with them? Ask their name and they will tell you. Yes, they have names!

      @@jeffreygibbs thanks. It was actually only Jeff and myself but we spent loads of time with Guujaaw, and also Terry and Charlotte Husband, not to mention a host of amazing plane and helicopter pilots, fishermen and numerous other people. Interesting story, when we were there Mike Salisbury, the producer, visited for two weeks with his young children. Ben, his son later went onto become a composer, not surprisingly working on BBC natural history films. He also did the very atmospheric scores for the film Ex- Machina and the TV series Devs.

    "the battle is won, not the war"
    "in their system, commercial enterprise takes priority over the wellbeing of the environment".
    Gujaaw on 'Rediscovery' camps: "There's no better setting to learn about nature and culture, it's interesting the whole different light in which you see each other. Most interesting is the perspective you get on yourself; especially for the kids who haven't been outside the trappings of civilization".

    Gujaaw Chief of the Haida Nation: "The Haida Culture is built upon an intimate relationship and oneness with the land and seas. Civilization it seems is a concept that measures how far people can be removed from the natural world; how different we can portray ourselves from other members of the animal kingdom. This deliberate trend has brought us to the environmental crisis of the world today." Elon Musk on love: "Mars projects are a love for Civilization". "Tesla is a love for the Environment". Can anyone spot the contradictions? Which one is not like the other?

    Do the Canadian Haida consider the Alaskan Haida the same people? Why or why not? I'm from Alaska but I am not Haida. I'm just curious! I'm from Juneau, our state capital

      Unfortunately Haida gwaii is about as west as you can get, making it prime place for government influence to come in and exploit natural resources, you can cut trees and float them straight to Asian markets. There has been a history of protest from the Haida, at Lyle island in 1985 there was a anti-logging protest, resulting in 72 arrests by the RCMP, but in the end, the Haidas won and culminated in the creation of Gwaii Haanas National park, which protects a large portion of the island from logging and destruction of cultural sites.
