All the we say is ours is of Haida Gwaii. This is our lot, our heritage, our life ... and one of the world's great cultures.

Today Guujaaw continues to balance carving with his many other roles which include; political activist, teacher, medicinal practitioner, historian, and performer.

His son Gwaai Edenshaw is an artist and film director, most noted as co-director of the first-ever Haida-language feature-length film Edge of the Knife (SG̲aawaay Ḵʹuuna). [3]
