In the land of the Gitxsan people.

Map - Houston to Hazelton Gitxsan totem poles and museum

Ksan Campground, Hazelton BC (2 stars)

Lee notices that we are entering the indigenous lands where his favourite native art comes from. The area around the Hazeltons is the land of the Gitxsan, made up of seven villages and about 10,000 people. They have no formal written language for Gitxsan but someone has recently built an app to help with the language.

The Gitxsan Historical Museum was not fully open, but we were able to admire the totem poles in front of each of the seven buildings.

The land continues to marvel and just makes the camera take pictures LOL. Today the count was 80 before edits.
