The Hazeltons

The communities that make up what is collectively known as the Upper Skeena are situated on the unceded traditional territory of the Gitxsan Nation. The Gitxsan people have lived on these lands for over 10,000 years, and together with the Wet’suwet’en Nation to the east, established the precedent‑setting Delgamuukw court decision in 1997. Some of the communities included in the Upper Skeena are the incorporated municipalities of Hazelton and New Hazelton, unincorporated settlements of South Hazelton, Two Mile, Suskwa Valley, Miskinish (Cedarvale), Kitwanga Valley, Andimal and the Kispiox Valley, and the seven Indigenous villages of Gitanyow, Gitwangak, Gitsegukla, Hagwilget, Gitanmaax, Sik‑e‑dakh, and Anspayaxw. The natural beauty of the land is central to health and wellbeing for many of the Indigenous and non‑Indigenous people who live on these unceded lands.
