According to Haida legends, the first humans emerged from a gigantic seashell washed up on the beach at Pointe Rose. They came into the world thanks to the Raven, the most powerful creature of mythical times. The Raven was walking on the beach when he heard a noise coming from a cracked shell. Approaching, he saw that the seashell was full of small human creatures. The little beings seemed terrified of the Raven and the vast world that stretched out around it. "Then the Raven put his large head near the shell, and with that clever tongue which had brought him so many adventures and so many misadventures throughout his life as a trickster, succeeded, by cunning, force and cajoling, in persuading the little beings to go out and play in his brand new world, so cheerful and so brilliant. " -Bill Reid, Haida artist
