Group of Islands
Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Queen Charlotte Islands
An archepelago along the British Columbia coast. Post-European contact, the islands were given colony status as the Colony of the Queen Charlotte Islands, governed by James Douglas, governor also of the Colony of Vancouver Island. Both colonies were merged with the Colony of British Columbia, which later became a province of Canada.
In 2010, the name was officially changed to Haida Gwaii.
