In Haida culture, elk skin is traditionally used for making clothing, such as robes and leggings, due to its durability and warmth. It is also utilized in crafting various items, including drum coverings and ceremonial regalia. The skin’s strength and flexibility make it a valuable material for both functional and artistic purposes in Haida craftsmanship. Additionally, elk skin holds cultural significance, often symbolizing a connection to nature and ancestral traditions.

The Haida people traditionally utilized various parts of the elk, primarily for food, clothing, and tools. They would consume the meat, which provided a vital source of nutrition. Additionally, elk hides were used to make clothing and shelter, while bones and antlers were fashioned into tools and ornaments. This comprehensive use of the animal reflects the Haida's deep connection to their environment and reliance on natural resources.
Haida foods came mostly from the sea: Salmon, halibut, seal, were all staples. In addition, blueberries, as well as other berries, and meat from deer, elk and moose, were all possible Haida meals.
