The Queen Charlotte Islands were a group of islands off the north shore of Vancouver Province near the border with Russian Alaska. Given the close proximity to Russian territory, the Royal North American Navy maintained a large naval base here and the entire archipelago were a military reservation. The native Haida had been decimated by "white man's diseases" (mainly smallpox) in the 17th century but continued to survive and live on the island and the mainland. Many no longer followed their native traditions but those who still did lived in Skidegate Village just outside Skidegate proper.

Colonel Thomas Bushell's investigation of the theft of The Two Georges brought him initially to Skidegate and then to other parts of the islands.
