Haida Heritage and Repatriation Society

The Haida Repatriation Committee (HRC) is a volunteer-led Indigenous initiative working to bring home the remains of Haida ancestors, grave materials, and cultural treasures from museums and private collections around the world. The HRC consists of two branches — the Skidegate Repatriation & Cultural Committee (administered through the Haida Gwaii Museum) and the Old Massett Repatriation & Cultural Committee — collaborating with leading institutions including the American Museum of Natural History, British Museum, Royal British Columbia Museum, Smithsonian, and others. The committee's butterfly logo, created by the late Brad Collinson, symbolises departed souls.
