‘Indelible Lands’ is a limited edition image from the mountains of Haida Gwaii. During an immersive personal journey accompanying my chosen Uncle, Des (Sihlgyang) and his family to return to his homeland, Haida Gwaii. Des was adopted out of his Haida community during the 60s era Baby Scoop. Lasting into the 70s, the Canadian government stole Indigenous children from their communities and placed them in Residential schools where they were severely abused and many times killed. It was only a few years ago the genocide was acknowledged by the Canadian government when mass graves of children were found at many of these schools. Colonization silenced the Haida and their traditions, separated families and decimated their lands. This journey for Des, powered by the indelible force of reunion represents the lasting and immovable connection to homeland, culture and blood right. In the past 30 years, the Haida people have had an incredible resurgence in culture and reconnection with tradition. The land is returning to what it is and always should be – Haida Gwaii (land of the Haida). The beauty and power of this scene is impossible to erase or forget and my time spent here will forever impact me.
