Haida Gwaii Mod (This round of beta closed)

[Foodstamp]

Tyee indeed means chief. I was hoping you would come across the canoe smasher! What a fantastic weapon.

It is also worth noting that the peoples of that region cut down massive redwoods and carved insane canoes out of those trees. It is speculated that they were able to sail all over the place in those canoes, as far away as Asia and as far north as the Artic circle.

I am not sure about you HoneyBadger, but I am immensely impressed with the tribes of that region. Once you read about what they accomplished before the Europeans came along, WOW, it is simply incredible. They were able warriors, great craftsmen, they had a complex culture and economy, and achieved many incredible things that have slipped into the realm of obscurity.

The Sgaana Tyee represents the banner/sailing chiefton role.

Originally this mod was supposed to represent all of the pacific northwest tribes, but I focused more on the Haida Gwaii overtime. I felt that since they had a natural barrier from the other tribes, that their culture would be just a small bit less generic to the other cultures in the area who were based in the mainland. That being said, you will find splashes of the other cultures mixed in. Some of the words used are even from Inuit and not specifically Haida language.
