Haida?

Yes, but I'm still looking for a location. I originally wanted the specific village name, but Gary pointed out to me that the picture has been attributed to many different ones. So, I will accept... well, if I said what I'll accept, that would give too much away. Just keep researching Haida.

Massett?

I will accept that because the page about Massett uses the image and captions it as Massett.

The page where I found the image says it's Skidegate, which was the answer I originally wanted. However, after Gary pointed out that various pages claim it to be different places, I decided I would settle for Graham Island.

I really need to research these things better before I use them.

PM coming.

All of which shows that Wiki isn't a particularly reliable source, even for non-controversial material.

Note that I found one Alaska USA tour operator stating in was in Alaska and contemporary, and while part of the Haida Nation is on that side of the border this photo is from the late 1800's.

I also found an authoritative source [they have an original print], saying it was Skidegate, but searching research libraries is a bit over the top for this thread and part of the reason I DQ'd myself.

No, that's in New Brunswick. I'm looking for a place in Ottawa.
BTW that was my first hint:)

Ottawa is the Capitol City. Did you mean Ontario or Quebec?

Should be easy now...

Holy cow. I forgot we were still working on the one that came after me. I had (and still have) no intention of trying to win this one, but I just did one minute of research and learned that there are only six national parks in Ontario. Start guessing, people! At least narrow down where Julie's cliff is.

Okay, I'm gonna throw out a guess of which park it is. Bruce Peninsula National Park.
