January 2026. The works in this exhibition spanned watercolor and ink drawings and paintings from across Yahgulanaas’ career. Early projects such as A Tale of Two Shamans (c. 1999) explore Haida cosmology through scenes of transformation and consequence, while later works, including Packing Old Bill’s Pole (2015), reflect on artistic legacy and the tension between art and ethnicity. Many of these works will be published 2026 in the book, Lost Haida Manga.

In Pages from the Diaries at Gallery Jones, Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas brings together a constellation of new and recent works that reflect continuity and transformation in his artistic practice. Selected pieces from the Daalkaatlii Diaries series anchor the exhibition, accompanied by newly conceived copper hoods, works on paper, and ink paintings on board.

The Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac has purchased nine works in the Daalkaatlii Diaries series for their permanent collection. These have been put on display on the main floor of the museum. The series was inspired by the historical narrative of a significant flood event in a tidal slough and expansive tidal grass flats. This area is known as Daalkaatlii, named after the magnificent sandhill crane (Antigone canadensis).
