New Laxgalts’ap Village Government Website!
Dear Lax̱g̱alts’ap and Nisg̱a’a community, Introducing the New Lax̱g̱alts’ap Village Government Website! The Lax̱g̱alts’ap Village Government is thrilled to announce…

< 1200
The Nisga’a people have lived at or near Laxgaltsʼap since time before memory, according to Nisga’a oral history.
1700
A typical year for the Nisga’a in, say, 1700, would be shaped by movements through the valley to harvest and process food. The Nisga’a system relied on complex kinship relations or mutual arrangements, as determined and dictated by Ayuukhl Nisga’a (the law of the people).
1741
In 1741, the first European reached Nisga’a territory and about fifty years later, the British arrived, Hudson’s Bay Company set up trading posts along the Nass River, missionaries arrived, and a gold rush triggered an influx of prospectors.
2000
In May 2000, the Nisga’a Treaty came into effect, after a long journey of petitions, landmark court battles, and steadfast commitment to sovereignty. It was the first modern treaty in British Columbia and made news around the world.
