Hartley Bay

Hartley Bay is a small Indigenous community located on the northern coast of British Columbia, Canada. It serves as a vital cultural and traditional hub for the Gitga'at Nation, part of the Tsimshian people. Surrounded by fjords and lush forests, it has a rich history of fishing, especially salmon and herring, and a deep connection to the land and sea. Hartley Bay plays a key role in regional ecological and cultural preservation efforts. Despite its remote location, it maintains a strong sense of community, cultural identity, and resilience, making it an important site for Indigenous heritage and environmental stewardship.
