Signs outlining Allied Tribes’ history on the Lower Skeena installed at six lower Hwy 16 sites
No sooner had the nine Allied Tsimshian Tribes of Lax Kw’alaams installed educational signage along Hwy 16 at six historically significant sites, than they were vandalized or stolen.
Since then, Lax Kw’alaams staff, hereditary leadership, youth and members at large have conducted structural repairs to the signs and, on May 3, celebrated their reinforcement and re-installation at six locations along the Skeena River between Prince Rupert and Terrace. The re-installation was marked by events at each of the six sites involving ceremony, speeches and witnessing by tribal members.
While the signage was only recently placed, the project has been in the works since 2017 and is the product of several years of planning, archival research and survey work. It is a joint initiative between the Lax Kw’alaams Band Truth and Reconciliation department, Lax Kw’alaams Fisheries, Lax Kw’alaams Business Development LP and the Allied Tsimshian Tribes Association.
