Haida Baby Eagle- Learn Eagle Clans
In Southeast Alaska, the Haida are divided into Raven and Eagle groups called moieties. Each moiety is divided into clans. Haida Baby Eagle teaches the English and Haida words for creatures that are important to the different Eagle clans - see Haida Baby Raven to learn about the creatures important to the Raven clans.
The clan crests were illustrated by Crystal Worl, and the Southeast Alaska environmental illustrations were made by Nobu Koch.
