Haida Gwaii just made history. On December 4, 2024, the Haida Nation and Canada signed the Chiix̲uujin / Chaaw K̲aawgaa “Big Tide” Haida Title Lands Agreement, recognizing Haida Aboriginal title over the archipelago’s lands and foreshores. Backed by 97% of Haida citizens, it’s Canada’s first negotiated title deal—no courtroom required. Since January 1, 2025, B.C. handed over Crown lands, starting a five-year shift to Haida governance. Private property stays safe, and non-Haida residents are included. For the Haida, it’s about stewardship and self-determination—shaping their future on their terms. For Canada, it’s a reconciliation milestone, hinting at what’s possible for other Indigenous nations. The transition’s underway, with details like forestry still unfolding, but the Haida are ready, building on decades of co-management. This win’s a wave worth watching. It’s a step toward Indigenous-led futures, from Haida Gwaii to beyond. Big tide, big change.
