10+ Pictures of Beautiful and Spiritual Haida Tattoos

Today, instead of celebrating the highly controversial holiday known as Columbus Day, many cities around the country have moved on to recognize the Indigenous people and their critical history. Cities such as Austin, TX, Salt Lake City, UT, and Los Angeles, CA have all taken a stand against the history of tyranny and genoise that Christopher Columbus's "discovery" of the Americas represent—instead choosing to highlight the legacy and lives of the Indigenous and First Nations people. As a nation, we still have a long way to go in terms of righting wrongs, however, this is certainly a positive start in the right direction. Therefore, in honor of Indigenous People's Day, take some time to learn a thing or two about the most recognizable tattoo style of the First Nations people—Haida. Check out the gallery below and let us know what you think about this unique, historic, and spiritually significant style of tattooing.
