          Kitsumkalum remains an important part of the Ts’msyen (Tsimshian) Nation and continues to maintain a strong connection to the Kitsumkalum Valley, Skeena River and Coast through our past and presence in our laxyuup (lands), and our heavy reliance on the resources in the areas.

          • Kitsumkalum Laxyuup (Lands/Territories) – The 1909 Letter of Claim: In 1909, the Tsimshian chiefs and Principle Men sent a letter to the government of British Columbia to assert our claims. The collective complaint involved the land question: “… the Government of the Province of British Columbia have disposed of timber on our Hunting grounds from the Canyon on the Skeena River, to Kiteaks [sic] on the Naas River. This land is gone from us to a great extent, the timber has been disposed of by the government, our game is getting scarce our hunting grounds have been taken away” … It was signed “On behalf of the Tsimpsean People”. This letter is relevant in that it clearly describes the territory of the Tsimshian as being “from the Canyon on the Skeena River, to Kiteaks [sic]on the Naas River.” The “Canyon” is a reference to Kitselas Canyon, which is above the Kitsumkalum territories. According to this letter of claim from the Tsimshian chiefs and Principle Men, Kitsumkalum is one of the Tsimshian peoples, therefore sharing fully in the heritage that exists throughout Tsimshian territory. – Letter of the Tsimshean Chiefs and Principle Men.

        • Kitsumkalum Declaration – Kitsumkalum is a strong, proud part of the Tsimshian Nation. We take exception to attempts to deny us our rightful place within the Tsimshian Nation, and to deny us our rightful place on the coast, with its sites and resources that are an integral part of who we are. This denial is more than an attempt to separate us from our lands and resources, it is an assault on who we are as people. Kitsumkalum has historically been known as Tsimshian Kitsumkalum elders treasure a common heritage with all Tsimshian, which in Sm’algyax translates as “Inside the Skeena River”
