History
Hiellen Indian Reserve No. 2 is a Haida reserve on the north coast of Graham Island in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, administered by the Old Massett Village Council within Naikoon Provincial Park at the mouth of the Hiellen River. Covering 24.70 hectares, it is also the site of the historic Haida village of Hiellen. One of 16 areas allotted to Old Massett in 1888 by reserve commissioner Peter O'Reilly, it was already mostly abandoned by 1882 and used mainly for salmon fishing, connecting it to both earlier settlement and seasonal harvesting. In 2014 longhouse-style cabins were built there, and in 2017 a totem pole by Christian White was raised.
