The communities known as the Upper Skeena, including The Hazeltons , are located on the unceded traditional territory of the Gitxsan Nation.
The Gitxsan people have inhabited these lands for over 10,000 years and, along with the Wet'suwet'en Nation, were instrumental in the landmark Delgamuukw court decision in 1997.
The Upper Skeena encompasses several communities, including the municipalities of Hazelton and New Hazelton, along with various unincorporated settlements and Indigenous villages.
