The Race To Save The Haida Language

SKEDANS, QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS - UNDATED: In this undated photo a Haida totem pole decomposes into the earth in the old village site of Skedans iin the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii), the Canadian archipelago south of Alaska. It is estimated that the Haida Nation has less than 65 people who speak the Haida language, and that the average age is 70 to 80. Some of the elders in Skidegate gather daily in the Skidegate Haida Language House, a longhouse dedicated to audio recording the language. This is the elder's attempt to salvage the rapidly fading language. (Photo by Farah Nosh/Getty Images)
