There are 7 communities on Haida Gwaii; 3 municipalities, 2 Haida villages and 2 unincorporated settlements. Most of the Islands' 4,800 residents live around these centres. Residents living outside of the municipalities or Haida villages are governed by the Skeena/Queen Charlotte Regional District.
The three municipalities on Haida Gwaii are the Villages of Masset, Port Clements and Queen Charlotte. Old Massett and Skidegate are the two occupied Haida villages with Tlell and Sandspit making up the remainder of the organized unincorporated communities.
With the exception of Sandspit all of the islands communities are located on Graham Island, the largest of the archipelago's islands and are connected by the Yellowhead Highway. Sandspit is connected to the other islands communities by a short 20 minute ferry crossing Skidegate Inlet.
