The Haida are one of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. Their national territories lie along the west coast of Canada and include parts of south east Alaska. Haida mythology is an indigenous religion that can be described as a nature religion, drawing on the natural world, seasonal patterns, events and objects for questions that the Haida pantheon provides explanations for. Haida mythology is also considered animistic for the breadth of the Haida pantheon in imbuing daily events with Sǥā'na qeda's.

  • La mitologia haida és la religió d'un dels pobles indígenes d'Amèrica de la costa nord-oest d'Amèrica del Nord. Els seus territoris nacionals ocupen la costa oest del Canadà i una part del sud-est d'Alaska. Aquesta mitologia és molt complicada i rica, comparable a la grega i la mexicana. És difícil d'estudiar, ja que no està escrita en llibres, i nombrosos investigadors han dedicat la vida al seu estudi. (ca)

  • La mitologia haida és la religió d'un dels pobles indígenes d'Amèrica de la costa nord-oest d'Amèrica del Nord. Els seus territoris nacionals ocupen la costa oest del Canadà i una part del sud-est d'Alaska. Aquesta mitologia és molt complicada i rica, comparable a la grega i la mexicana. És difícil d'estudiar, ja que no està escrita en llibres, i nombrosos investigadors han dedicat la vida al seu estudi. El corb és el personatge principal, com ho és en moltes altres mitologies. Els haides creien que el corb és una complexa reflecció d'un mateix. Pot representar la màgia, la transformació, la força creativa o moltes altres coses, però sempre és un heroi cultural. Ell va crear les illes Haida Gwaii, alliberant el Sol de la caixa on estava guardat i creant les estrelles i la Lluna. En una llegenda, s'explica que va crear l'espècie humana d'una petxina d'escopinya, mentre que en una altra la va fer créixer del terra perquè volia omplir de gent una festa que es proposava arruïnar. Els mites del déu corb intenten explicar com viure una bona vida. Tenien dos déus de la mort: Ta'xet, la mort violenta, i Tia, la mort pacífica. Dzalarhorns era una dona associada a les granotes i als volcans, i el seu marit, Kaiti, era el déu dels ossos. Gihldeptis era la dea del bosc. Lagua era l'esperit invisible que va ajudar els haides a aprendre els usos del ferro. Sin (que significa 'dia') era el déu del cel i dels dirigents. (ca)

Haida mythology is also considered animistic for the breadth of the Haida pantheon in imbuing daily events with Sǥā'na qeda's. There are innumerable Haida supernatural beings, or Sǥā'na qeda's, including prominent animal crests, wind directions, and legendary ancestors. John R. Swanton, while documenting Haida beliefs as part of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition recorded that the highest being in all Haida mythology and the one who gave power to the Sǥā'na qeda's was Sîns sǥā'naǥwa-i, translated as 'Power-of-the-Shining-Heavens'. Some have the ability to transform between animal and human forms while others do not. In the art creatures can sometimes be found with anthropomorphic features, especially human faces, inside or as part of their bodies denoting this transformative ability. (en)
