Nisga'a

Nisga'a refers to an Indigenous people from the Nass River Valley in British Columbia, Canada. They have a rich cultural heritage and a long history of governance, art, and community life. The Nisga'a Nation signed a modern treaty in 1998, the Nisga'a Treaty, which recognized their land rights, self-government, and cultural authority. This agreement established their own governance system, allowing them to manage resources, healthcare, and education. The Nisga'a people are known for their vibrant traditions, including totem pole carving and storytelling, reflecting their deep connection to the land and their community.
