At the southwest corner of Gwaii Hannas is SGang Gwaay (Anthony Island) is the village of SG̱ang Gwaay Llnagaay (Nan Sdins), which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its preservation of Haida culture. The village was occupied until about 1880 and the remains of the cedar long houses, carved mortuary and memorial poles commemorate Haida art and oral traditions. Today, it continues to be a spiritual site for the Haida as the resting place for many ancestors.
