In this episode, we talk about SG̱ang Gwaay, an off-the-grid destination in Haida Gwaii that defies time. Host Norm visits this UNESCO World Heritage Site with Teresa Russ, a local Watchman who grew up learning the rhythms of Haida life. Through Teresa’s voice, listeners gain access to the spiritual and cultural heart of this site, from longhouses that once stood tall to cedar poles weathered by salt and age.

SG̱ang Gwaay is a place where interconnectedness isn’t just philosophy—it’s survival. Teresa discusses the Haida belief that “everything depends on everything else,” a worldview seen in the way they live with the ocean, forest, and sky. Hear about the village’s history, its role in the South Moresby Agreement, and what it means to return year after year to care for land still rich in ancestors’ presence.

Travel the world by tuning into its oldest wisdoms—and SG̱ang Gwaay is one of them.
