The island is part of the archipelago of Haida Gwaii, formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. A mat board that reads "H.E. Young" and "with every good wish for Christmas and the happy new year from A. Ikeda" above and below the photograph, respectively, suggests this photograph was gifted by Awaya Ikeda to Dr. Henry Esson Young on the latter's visit to Haida Gwaii as Minister of Education in 1908.
