Sketch of a Haida cargo ship off the coast of Xaaydaga Island in the Haida Gwaii, 2314 AD.
The Haida have become the masters of the North Pacific, transporting goods along the west coast of North America, as well as making the 6-8 week long trek in the summers across to the Yellow Sea Alliance (YSA). They have seen great success via combining algae diesel fuelled engines with junk rigged sails on a two mast schooner type ship. They are the main mover of goods and people from Port Baja (the southern most point the Haida bother to go), up to Seattle Bay, then Haida Gwaii and Terace serves as the central hub. Then will up to Sugpiaq, then to Adak (which serves as the main rest stop between Asia and North America), out to Yelizovo, and finally to Hokkaido.
Nunangat controls Sugpiaq and, in turn, transports goods along the northwest passage, down the east coast and even out to Iceland connecting Europe to the Americas. From Hokkaido, the YSA moves goods southward and out to India, and from Yelizovo, ancient Russian infrastructure takes tribal caravans deep into the Eurasian continent. As such, the Haida serve a vital role in what has been called "The Great World Ring," a trade road moving things across the entire globe. Many people have managed to circumnavigate the globe just by moving from trade ship to trade ship to caravan to trade ship. While perhaps the world isn't as prosperous as before The Flood Wars, it does not mean there is no global community.
