    Did the Haida venture as far as California?

    Question #107921. Asked by unclerick. (Aug 12 09 4:40 AM)

    		Yes, and further, according to this website:

    http://www.mongabay.com/indigenous_ethnicities/north_american/Haida.html

    "Haidas traveled and captured [slaves] as far away as California."

    "Haida oral narratives also record journeys as far north as the Bering Sea, and one account raises a reasonable possibility that Asia was even visited by Haidas before Europeans entered the Pacific."

    This site:
    http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=15371008
    also talks about California-based abalone shell found in Haida locations, although this does not definitively say that the Haida travelled to California or if the abalone were traded with other travellers.
