ABSTRACT The Haida, a First People of British Columbia, evolved over 3000 years an art form which is rich in archetypal images.

In this paper, I argue that the structure of shamanic cosmology and Haida moieties parallel the distinction in the human psyche which Marie-Louise von Franz called the Unconscious Above and the Unconscious Below. The ‘marriage of opposites’, the reconciliation of Logos and Eros, Duff saw symbolized in Haida art by the Copper, which I call the ‘Haida Anthropos ’.
