Aam wil bakwsim̓!
Welcome to the online community for the Nisg̱a’a Nation!
We are Hli gadihl Nisg̱a’a ahl K’alii-Aksim-Lisims—Nisg̱a’a, People of the Nass River—who have occupied and thrived in British Columbia’s Nass Valley since before recorded time. Today, we welcome the world to our self-governing nation, home of British Columbia’s first modern treaty.
K’alii-Aksim-Lisims (the Nass River) flows through a land of sacred mountains and dense forests on Canada’s Pacific Coast. It is the lifeblood of our people. Today, the Nisg̱a’a Nation includes over 8,000 people residing in the Nisg̱a’a Villages of Gingolx, Laxgalts’ap, Gitwinksihlkw, Gitlaxt’aamiks (New Aiyansh) and beyond the Nass Valley in Terrace, Prince Rupert /Port Edward, Greater Vancouver, and across North America. We are represented by the Nisg̱a’a Lisims Government.
Whether you are a local Nisg̱a’a citizen looking for information on government services, a Nisg̱a’a citizen who lives away from home wishing to connect with your community, or anyone seeking for more information about visiting or doing business with us, welcome.
If the information you’re looking for is not found in this website, please feel free to give us a call or stop by at our government offices. We’d be happy to help.
Sincerely,
Eva Clayton
