Kitsumkalum is a strong, proud part of the Tsimshian Nation. We are a part of the Tsimshian Nation that exclusively occupied the Prince Rupert Harbour and surrounding coastal and inland areas as of 1846. We have aboriginal rights to fish, harvest, gather and engage in cultural and spiritual activities throughout the coastal part of our territory. There is much at stake – in particular with a Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) industry at our doorstep.
