Nisga'a of the Nass
Picked up a Nisga'a Nation hitch hiker in Terrace, BC in 2006 who was heading to his village two hours north in the Nass Valley (near Alaska). I told him if he gave me a guided tour of the area and of his village and let me videotape it, I would drive him all the way home! This is the footage!

This video documents the struggle of the Nisga'a people, in court and at negotiating tables, to reclaim their ancestral lands through the first modern treaty in British Columbia. Filmmakers John Bassett and Rosalind Farber made numerous trips to Nisga'a territory beginning in 2003 to document Nisga'a history, their struggle, and life since the Nisga'a treaty was implemented in May 2000.

Nisga'a Lava beds
turn off the sound, driving down the highway looking for a hot spring we drove past lava beds up by Terrace, BC.
Visit to Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Park and area
Anhluut'ukwsim Laxmihl Angwinga'asanskwhl Nisga'a (Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Park)
In 2006 I lived in northern Kitimat, BC. My dog, Murphy and I craved adventure so we drove up to explore the unique lava beds in the raw wilderness of Nisga'a territory roughly an hour north of Terrace, BC.
It's hard to imagine it happening, but around the year 1750 -- decades before Europeans came sailing up this way - a volcano erupted here spewing lava and killing over 2,000 Nisga'a people, destroying everything in its path and sparking devastating forest fires.
The vast lava beds remain today as a memorial to the lives lost. Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Park is a popular destination with a 16-site campground and a Visitors Centre displaying Nisga'a artifacts throughout July and August. There are guided tours of the lava beds, sport fishing, backcountry excursions, local accommodations, and majestic pts'aan (totem poles).
It is the first park in BC jointly managed between BC Parks and the Nisga'a Tribal Council. It boasts waterfalls, pools, cinder cones, tree moulds, lava tubes, spatter cones, a lava-dammed lake, caves and other features created by lava flows.
BC Parks' website says this park offers a chance to explore many unique and interesting features of a volcanic landscape and to learn about the culture and legends of the Nisga'a people. This was so very true for us that day after we picked up Kenny Robinson, a Nisga'a man hitchhiking home from Terrace.
In exchange for a ride, he offered a guided tour of the lava beds and some Nisga'a villages along the way, including the home of a 400-foot suspension bridge: Gitwinksihlkw (Place of the Lizards) where according to oral tradition, large lizards lived there before the eruption.
I also received a warm welcome in the breathtaking village of Gingolx with spectacular views of the ocean and soaring eagles. The locals invited me into their long house to draw door prizes for a gathering and showed me how to prepare smoked salmon.
Using the clunky old cassette-loaded camcorder I had back then, I filmed the day's events, including a terrifying encounter with an aggressive mother grizzly and cubs.
