Going back to research

I decided to go back and research more about the Haida tribe so even though the game has fantasy element i would feel like our game had been rooted from cultural and historical ideas

i continued to be inspired by the masks not just because of the god references but the artwork.

- this link explained to me the reputation of the Haida tribe as bloody warrior who battled in canoes giving the idea of sea battles

I even had my own idea for the narrative being about a Haida tribe's man going on a quest and in the process finding that the British are coming to destroy them and their culture. In the process of this the main character either becomes a spirit or gets guided by the spirits to return to his tribe, build up the tribe and the army ready to fight the final battle.
I even went as far as looking up if the Haida tribe believed in the dead to make my story believable.

with beliefs shows that the dead would watch over them my story will tie in well if the group like my idea
