Found within Gitxsan Territory, Ksan Historical Village stands where the village of Gitanmaax has existed for centuries. It is the desire of Ksan to preserve and truthfully portray the lifestyle of the people who have always lived here.

‘Ksan Historical Village and Museum are located near the ancient village of Gitanmaax,  at the confluence of the Bulkley and Skeena Rivers in the community of Hazelton, British Columbia.

For centuries, possibly millennia, Gitxsan’s maintained communities at important canyons and junctions on the Skeena River. This location was an important fishing and transport site.

As a replicated ancient village, ‘Ksan illustrates features of a Gitxsan village from the past. Like its predecessors, ‘Ksan’s houses form a line with each building facing the river. Making the large decorated house fronts and totem poles of the village visible from the water. Along with other features,  the smoke house, and food cache, ‘Ksan illustrates characteristics typical of a past Gitxsan village.
