About the Gitxsan -
Our Land
Most of the resources on Gitxsan territory are related to nature: trees, fish, animals, water, botanical products and the human knowledge associated with the management of these resources.
Major salmon-bearing rivers flow through the territory: the Upper and Mid Skeena, Upper Babine, Lower Bulkley, and Kispiox.
Facilities on the territory include several sawmills owned by outside interests and a couple of municipalities (New Hazelton, Hazelton).
B.C. provincial highways that run through the territory include Hwys 16, 37 & 62.
The Canadian National Railway line runs through the village gravesites of Kitwanga Village.
Five Gitxsan villages and two ancient Gitxsan villages can also be found on the territory.
