It's also a resistance to what was imposed on us. —Gwaai Edenshaw, co-writer and co-director 3] The idea to make Edge of the Knife came from University of British Columbia professor Leonie Sandercock and Haida Gwaii community organizers who wanted to encourage learning Haida, classified as an endangered language with fewer than 20 speakers at the time of the movie's production. 4] [5. After an idea submission contest, Haida brothers Gwaai and Jaalen Edenshaw, as well as Graham Richard, joined Sandercock in 2014 to begin work on the script.(2) [61 Over twelve months, with advice from fluent Haida speakers Diane Brown (the Edenshaws' grandmother) / and Harold Yeltatzie. the writing team conducted in := ws a screenings in ora vasseu and skidegate, Brown (the Edenshaws' grandmother)!' and Hardia Peltatzie, the writing team Conducted interviews and held workshops and film screenings in Old Massett and Skidegate, two predominantly Haida communities on the island of Haida Gwaii, British Columbia. [6] [8) Sandercock recalled, in an essay after the film's release, that three major items of importance for the Haida Gwaii residents they interviewed were reviving the Haida language, keeping jobs on the island, and protecting the island's land and waters. 2] 文A日日 T 2:4 Delores Churchill: A Haida weaver, she helped translate the Edge of the Knife script into the two dialects of Haida. The writers decided to develop the dramatic 91 story of the Haida wildman (called Gaagixiid or Gaagiid). This is a traditional Haida narrative that follows someone who survives an accident at sea and whose humanity declines as they struggle to survive. 6) The Gaagiixiid story also works as an allegory for any struggle, mental or physical. The screenplay was completed in April 2015, and Delores Churchill, along with the Skidegate Haida Immersion Program (SHIP), translated the script into the two dialects of Haida. 6 Gwaii Edenshaw said that having the movie be in Haida "did not even feel like a choice ... We were telling a Haida story."/ The writers tried to give equal screen time to the northern dialect, from Old Massett, and the southern one, from Skidegate, "to encourage members of both communities to learn their own dialect and to have a film tEuld双A贝@ wrote. 12) By conferring with Haida elders, southern one, from Skidegate, "tan 5 encourage members of both communities to learn their own dialect and to have a film that would showcase both," as Sandercock wrote.!2 By conferring with Haida elders, the writers strove to accurately represent Haida culture as it was before contact from colonizers; additionally, Jaalen Edenshaw conducted archival research. (2) The title in Haida is SGaawaay K'uuna, 1°1 which refers to a Haida proverb: "The world is as sharp as the edge of a knife; as you go along you have to be careful or you will fall off one side or the other."[11) [nb 1] Jonathan Frantz, of Kingulliit Productions, produced the film through the nascent Niijang Xyaalas Productions and was director of photography.

And how!

👇 Champaigne and Aishihik Adminstrative Bldg, Haines Junction; Migizii Agamik, Winnipeg; Haida Heritage Centre, Skidegate; Wabano Centre, Ottawa.
A clean, crisp-lines wooden building with several windows is perched atop a rocky mound. An undulating path and stone wall leads to a stone building with a glass porch. A row of modern longhouse-style buildings with central totem poles recedes into the distance. And undulating, irregular stone and glass building sits on a city street as pedestrians pass by.
