Nisg̱a’a Lands
We are Nisg̱a’a, people of Ḵ’alii-Aksim-Lisims (the Nass River). We have lived here, on British Columbia’s northwest coast, since before recorded time—long enough to see our culture thrive, adapt, and endure. Ours is a world of teeming inlets, dense forests, and sleeping volcanoes. It is a land that is as much a part of us as our own flesh and blood. Flowing through this land and our lives is Ḵ’alii-Aksim-Lisims. The resources of Lip Ts’eets’iksgum̓ (Our Lands) have sustained our people for millennia. This bounty allowed us to develop one of the most unique and sophisticated cultures in North America.
