The Chumash of southern California were also a great seafaring culture, depending on whaling once a year, and fishing and hunting seals up and down the coast, having had run ins with the Haida more then once. The Haida had contact with the Hawaiian people and besides trading they also interbred with them. Many of the images of certain fish and animals found on Haida totem poles are almost exactly the same as those same animals images carved by Hawaiian, and the Haida war club was almost exactly what most Polynesian tribes used as well.

Geographical references are in relation to the globe, not a map. The region is the Pacific cost of the northern part of the western hemisphere. The American Midwest is in the middle of the western hemisphere. The Middle Ease is in the middle of the Eastern hemisphere. Thus, the Pacific Northwest is the correct geographical terminology for the region in discussion.

[@DJ_Pizano]

The Pacific Northwest region is easy to understand geographically speaking. Northern Hemisphere (Equator) and Western Hemisphere (Prime/Greenwich Meridian Line). Hence NorthWest. Those lines are imaginary but to understand geography we use longitude and latitude to find a specific place in our globe. But in the United States we use the term Northwest because it’s the North Western part. West coast of the United States.

Were the Haida related to the other Native Americans or were they descendants of Polynesian explorers?

The oldest plains Indian War in South Dakota. The crow creek massacre eight hundred years ago was attacked and killed also destroyed by a 1,200 arikara's Indian warrior's party on a peaceful Mandan Indian village of over 250 people. The burial ground is on top of a tall hill along the Missouri River 16 miles from Fort Thompson SD. The oldest battle site on the great plains. We should respect our native Americans burial grounds.

The place is real on the historical records. I'm from the crow creek sioux Indian reservation.

You forgot about Kasaan and Hydaburg Alaska. Still Haida, still here.
