The Haida tribe is renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship in canoe building along the Pacific Coast.

The Haida people, indigenous to the Pacific Northwest, particularly the Haida Gwaii archipelago (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands) in Canada, are famous for their skill in constructing and using canoes. Canoes were central to Haida life, facilitating fishing, transportation, and trade across the coastal waters. The Haida built large, seaworthy canoes using the natural resources available in their environment, primarily cedar wood. Their canoes were intricately carved, with cultural motifs and symbols that were integral to their traditions. The ability to navigate the coastal waters was a key part of the Haida's maritime culture.
