Etymology
Guuj Xaat Kil Tlagaang translates to "Imperial People Land" but can also mean "Great People Land" or "Big Haida Land". "Guuj" used to mean "big" but the word "Imperial" and "Great" have been attached to it as well. "Xaat Kil" meant the Haida alone in the past but has changed into meaning "people", with "Xaayda" replacing "Xaat Kil" has the demonym of the Haida people. "Tlagaang" has remained relatively unchanged, meaning "land" most of the time, but it has also been used as the word for "Nation" or "State".
