First Nation, Métis and Inuit religions in Canada vary widely and consist of complex social and cultural customs for addressing the sacred and the supernatural. The influence of Christianity — through settlers, missionaries and government policy — significantly altered life for Aboriginal peoples. In some communities, this resulted in hybridized religious practices; while in others, European religion replaced traditional spiritual practices entirely. Though historically suppressed by colonial administrators and missionaries, especially from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, many contemporary Aboriginal communities have revived, or continue to practice, traditional spirituality.

Haida are Aboriginal people who have traditionally occupied the coastal bays and inlets of Haida Gwaii in British Columbia. Approximately 2,500 Haida live in Haida Gwaii territory, with about 2,000 more living elsewhere in British Columbia and around the world. The Haida language is an isolate with two dialects: Masset on the northern island and areas of southeast Alaska; and Skidegate in the south. (See also Aboriginal People: Northwest Coast.)

Long ago the Haida sometimes went to war against other Native groups for revenge or to get items of wealth and, especially, slaves. The Haida's slaves were either people caught in wars or were the children of those who had been caught. The Haida were successful warriors because they had excellent seamanship skills. Haida forts were very well defended against attack. Haida also defended themselves by wearing armour, including wooden helmets and breastplates, and a war coat made from thick sea lion hides or several layers of elkskin. They used bows and arrows and spears, as well as war daggers.

Today, the Haida Nation is taking the lead role in determining the future health of our forests and the rate of tree harvesting in the logging industry on Haida Gwaii. An unprecedented agreement between the Haida Nation and the Government of British Columbia has been established through which all decisions on the rate and location of tree harvesting are determined through negotiation and consensus.
