Answer
Based on the myth and the knowledge of the Haida's geographical location, it can be inferred that they wore wool and leather clothing due to the colder climate. This may have affected their interaction with others as they may have had to rely on trade for certain materials. The type of clothing they wore may have also affected their sense of community as it may have been a shared cultural practice. However, there is no mention of heavy plated armor in the myth, so it cannot be inferred that it provided them with any advantage.
