Haida and Squamish Stories & Songs

A Raven’s Feast of Stories

Come listen to the engaging stories told by Kung Jaadee, a Haida storyteller who has been sharing legends for over 30 years! She is from the Haida Nation and also has Musqueam, Squamish, Tlingit, Tsleil-Waututh, and Hawaiian roots.

Kung Jaadee will share some of her favourite tales about Raven (Yaahl), the trickster and creator, like Raven Brings the Light and Raven’s Feast—which is also one of her most popular children’s books! You’ll also hear the Squamish story of The Two Sisters, the mountains we know today as The Lions.

With her drum, Kung Jaadee will sing traditional Haida songs and even teach you some words in Xaad Kil, the Haida language. These fun and magical stories are filled with lessons about respect, responsibility, and how everything in the world is connected. Click here to watch the video.
