Have something to say about Queen Charlotte (Village) / Englefield Bay / Exact Point / Graham Island / Cape Henry / Hibben Island / Inskip Channel?

• 

Kaagan is Haida for 'mouse' (specifically for the white-footed mouse). It is also the Haida name for nearby Slatechuck Mountain.

• 

Said to be an adaptation of the Tsimshian word (meaning 'on the eagle') applied to a large Indian village formerly here, known to the Haidas as Tanu.

• 

After George Moore, RN, master of HMS Thetis, who surveyed the channel in 1852 during the rush of American gold-seekers to the area.

• 

After Dr. Charles F. Newcombe (1851-1924), a Victoria physician who made various trips to the Queen Charlottes to study the anthropological, botanical, geological, and ethnographical aspects of the islands. He was a very active collector of Indian artifacts, acting as an agent for various museums.

• 

This name appears on the 1852 chart made by Captain Kuper, RN. He named it after two paymasters, Luxmore and Rogers.

• 

In 1785 a British syndicate headed by R.C. Etches formed the King George's Sound Company (see Nootka Sound). Armed with licences from the South Sea Company and the East India Company authorizing them to trade in furs between the North Pacific coast of America and China, they despatched two ships, the King George and the Queen Charlotte, to secure furs off this coast. In the summer of 1787, Captain George Dixon, after successfully trading for sea otter off both the west and east coasts of these islands, named them after his ship.

• 

This name first appears on the map of the coast of North West America published with George Dixon's Voyage round the World (1789). Dixon almost certainly named this sound after James Rennell (1742-1830), the illustrious geographer and friend of Sir Joseph Banks.

• 

Named by Juan Perez in 1774 when he sighted these mountains from the sea.

• 

The name, a curious compound of the English word slate and the Chinook word chuck ('water'), comes from the stream running off the mountain where the Haidas find the argillite out of which they carve small totem poles and other artifacts. The Haida name for this mountain is Kaagan. (See Kagan Bay.)

• 

Named by the Canadian Hydrographic Survey using a word taken from a Haida vocabulary compiled by G.M. Dawson. The word means 'tongue' and is descriptive of this long, narrow peninsula.

• 

From the Haida word for eelgrass (Zostera marina).

• 

A much-shortened form of the Haida name for this inlet that can be translated as 'lake of food inlet.'

• 

'Weeping Willie' was the nickname of Bill Martin, who hauled logs around here. He died in 1983.

• 

G.M. Dawson named this bay after Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749-1817) of the Mining Academy, Freiburg, Germany, the first geologist to work out a systematic classification of minerals.
