Haida (Raven) by David Miles Huber
Haida… The name calls up the beauty, majesty and the mysteries of a powerful land and it’s people: the Haida Tribal Nation of the Queen Charlotte Islands in the Pacific Northwest. Known also by its Haida name “Gwaii Haanas”, meaning islands of wonder, the Queen Charlotte Islands are referred to by some as “awe-inspiring”. An archipelago of more than 150 islands, the Queen Charlotte Islands are located 50 miles west of the Canadian mainland and are widely known for their natural beauty, old totems, longhouses and a thriving native culture.
Designed to portray the beauty & grandeur of this focal-point of natural beauty and spiritual energy, this “epic project” transports you to a powerful land of ocean shores, eagles flying above, snow-capped mountains and lush, verdant trees.
Created and produced in Seattle, Berlin, Amsterdam and the Skagit Valley by 4X Grammy-nominated producer and musician David Miles Huber
