The region known as the Upper Skeena, The Hazeltons , is located on the unceded traditional territory of the Gitxsan Nation.
The Gitxsan people have inhabited these lands for over 10,000 years and, in conjunction with the Wet'suwet'en Nation to the east, established the landmark Delgamuukw court decision in 1997.
Communities within the Upper Skeena include the municipalities of Hazelton and New Hazelton, as well as unincorporated areas such as South Hazelton, Two Mile, Suskwa Valley, Miskinish (Cedarvale), Kitwanga Valley, Andimal, and Kispiox Valley, along with the seven Indigenous villages of Gitanyow, Gitwangak, Gitsegukla, Hagwilget, Gitanmaax, Sik-e-dakh, and Anspayaxw.
Many would agree that the region's natural beauty is unmatched, playing a vital role in the health and well-being of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous residents of these unceded territories.
