Maude Island Explained

Maude Island is an island in the Haida Gwaii archipelago of the North Coast region of British Columbia, Canada. It is located within Skidegate Inlet, a large saltwater inlet within Graham Island.[1] It is the larger of two islands in British Columbia by that name, the other being a small islet offshore from Nanoose Bay and Lantzville on southeastern Vancouver Island.[2]

It is the location of the former Haida village known as Haina. "Ha'ina" is the name of the island in Haad Kil, the Haida language.
