This video documents the struggle of the Nisga'a people, in court and at negotiating tables, to reclaim their ancestral lands through the first modern treaty in British Columbia. Filmmakers John Bassett and Rosalind Farber made numerous trips to Nisga'a territory beginning in 2003 to document Nisga'a history, their struggle, and life since the Nisga'a treaty was implemented in May 2000.

The Nisga'a Lava Beds - "Our Life Behind Bars: Father & Son Doing Time in The Northern Frontier"
In the summer of 2013, a unique opportunity for both a father and his 17 year old son to ride BMW GS Adventure motorcycles north to British Columbia, the Yukon Territory and the state of Alaska to the farthest roads on the North American Continent presented itself. Our route was non-linear and we rode some of the most amazing and lonely roads of the north with the furthest point north being Alaska's Prudhoe Bay. Along the way we interacted with indigenous people, met old friends, made new friends and encountered wildlife from a vantage point few get to experience.
We documented the trip extensively with pictures and video footage of that magical trip. In order to tell the story, we have put together a video series titled, "Our Life Behind Bars: Father & Son Doing Time in the Northern Frontier".
Enjoy this Episode of our trip as we try and capture the magic of this place known as the Nisga'a Lava Beds Memorial Park.
The area contains Four Villages, represented by one nation. The Nisga'a people live to the north of Terrace in the Nass Valley. The area is unique and beautiful. Snow capped mountain peaks surround a valley where large rivers flow, deep fjord lakes, vast lava fields and the ocean.
Over 200 years ago a catastrophic lava eruption resulted in molten lava filling the Nass valley and killing over 2000 indigenous people. As a result, 2 of the 4 villages are located up and away from the valley floor.
The Nisga'a highway leaves Terrace and a side detour down to Ginglox is a must. The winding road through the lush rainforest made for a fantastic ride. Once at Ginglox, one can see the entrance to the Portland Canal (Alaska).

Anhluut'ukwsim Laxmihl Angwinga'asanskwhl Nisga'a (Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Park)
In 2006 I lived in northern Kitimat, BC. My dog, Murphy and I craved adventure so we drove up to explore the unique lava beds in the raw wilderness of Nisga'a territory roughly an hour north of Terrace, BC.
http://goo.gl/maps/saR0
It's hard to imagine it happening, but around the year 1750 -- decades before Europeans came sailing up this way - a volcano erupted here spewing lava and killing over 2,000 Nisga'a people, destroying everything in its path and sparking devastating forest fires.
The vast lava beds remain today as a memorial to the lives lost. Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Park is a popular destination with a 16-site campground and a Visitors Centre displaying Nisga'a artifacts throughout July and August. There are guided tours of the lava beds, sport fishing, backcountry excursions, local accommodations, and majestic pts'aan (totem poles).
It is the first park in BC jointly managed between BC Parks and the Nisga'a Tribal Council. It boasts waterfalls, pools, cinder cones, tree moulds, lava tubes, spatter cones, a lava-dammed lake, caves and other features created by lava flows.
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/nisgaa/
BC Parks' website says this park offers "a chance to explore many unique and interesting features of a volcanic landscape and to learn about the culture and legends of the Nisga'a people." This was so very true for us that day after we picked up Kenny Robinson, a Nisga'a man hitchhiking home from Terrace.
In exchange for a ride, he offered a guided tour of the lava beds and some Nisga'a villages along the way, including the home of a 400-foot suspension bridge: Gitwinksihlkw (Place of the Lizards) where according to oral tradition, large lizards lived there before the eruption.

I also received a warm welcome in the breathtaking village of Gingolx with spectacular views of the ocean and soaring eagles. The locals invited me into their long house to draw door prizes for a gathering and showed me how to prepare smoked salmon.
Using the clunky old cassette-loaded camcorder I had back then, I filmed the day's events, including a terrifying encounter with an aggressive mother grizzly and cubs.

On Canada July 1st, 2011 in Vancouver's Canada Place, the Le La La Dancers from Alert Bay, BC performed First Nations dances in a traditional native ceremony known as a potlatch. They wore masks that depict supernatural creatures including a killer whale (orca), bear and raven. George Taylor, the lead singer and dancer of Le La La Dancers sees himself as a continuation of his ancestors' First Nations way. He learned his native singing and dancing skills years ago as a young boy living in Alert Bay, BC, in the northern part of Vancouver Island. Potlatch and many other aboriginal customs including languages were prohibited by the Canadian government until 1951, yet the First Nations cultural way of life survived to this day through the perseverance of the indigenous people of Canada.

The last great eulachon fishery on Earth is found in British Columbia near the mouth of the Nass River, where the fish return to spawn each year. Eulachon are a species of smelt, known to the indigenous Nisga'a people of the Nass as halimotkw, which translates to ""salvation fish."" Both a foodstuff and a delicacy for the Nisga'a, eulachon today are showing signs of making a comeback after their runs began to collapse in the 1990s. In this video, we get a look at Nisga'a processing the eulachon inside the ""stink box,"" where the fish ferment in vats, and grease from its fatty skin is created. The eulachon’s buttery flesh is so rich in oil that a dried fish will actually light and burn like a candle.

The Nisga’a (pronounced [nisqaʔ]), often formerly spelled Nishga and spelled in the Nisga’a language as Nisga’a, are an Indigenous nation or First Nation in Canada. They live in the Nass River valley of northwestern British Columbia. The name is a reduced form of [naːsqaʔ], which is a loan from Tongass Tlingit, where it means "people of the Nass River".
Nisga’a society is organized into four Tribes:
Each Tribe is further sub-divided into House Groups - extended families with same origins. Some houses are grouped together into Clans - grouping of Houses with same ancestors.
Example:
The Nisga’a harvested "beach food" all year round. This would include razor clams, mussels, oysters, limpits, scallops, abalone, fish, seaweed and other seafood that could be harvested from the shore. Eating too much beach food was believed to make you sick. However salmon, cod, char, pike, trout and other fresh water fish were harvested in the streams. Men went out in ocean going canoes to hunt seals, whales, fish and sea otters. The blubber was often traded with other tribes as well as fish oil. Mountain goat, marmot, game birds and more were hunted in the forests. The meat was roasted or boiled. Fish and sea mammals flesh was eaten frozen, boiled or roasted. The heads of a type of cod which were half eaten by sharks were boiled into a soup which kept colds at bay. Dried fish, seal oil, fish oil, blubber and cedar were traded with inland tribes.

Enjoy this Episode of our trip as we try and capture the magic of this place known as the Nisga'a Lava Beds Memorial Park.
The area contains Four Villages, represented by one nation. The Nisga'a people live to the north of Terrace in the Nass Valley. The area is unique and beautiful. Snow capped mountain peaks surround a valley where large rivers flow, deep fjord lakes, vast lava fields and the ocean.
Over 200 years ago a catastrophic lava eruption resulted in molten lava filling the Nass valley and killing over 2000 indigenous people. As a result, 2 of the 4 villages are located up and away from the valley floor.
The Nisga'a highway leaves Terrace and a side detour down to Ginglox is a must. The winding road through the lush rainforest made for a fantastic ride. Once at Ginglox, one can see the entrance to the Portland Canal (Alaska).

Anhluut'ukwsim Laxmihl Angwinga'asanskwhl Nisga'a (Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Park)
In 2006 I lived in northern Kitimat, BC. My dog, Murphy and I craved adventure so we drove up to explore the unique lava beds in the raw wilderness of Nisga'a territory roughly an hour north of Terrace, BC.
http://goo.gl/maps/saR0
It's hard to imagine it happening, but around the year 1750 -- decades before Europeans came sailing up this way - a volcano erupted here spewing lava and killing over 2,000 Nisga'a people, destroying everything in its path and sparking devastating forest fires.
The vast lava beds remain today as a memorial to the lives lost. Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Park is a popular destination with a 16-site campground and a Visitors Centre displaying Nisga'a artifacts throughout July and August. There are guided tours of the lava beds, sport fishing, backcountry excursions, local accommodations, and majestic pts'aan (totem poles).
It is the first park in BC jointly managed between BC Parks and the Nisga'a Tribal Council. It boasts waterfalls, pools, cinder cones, tree moulds, lava tubes, spatter cones, a lava-dammed lake, caves and other features created by lava flows.
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/nisgaa/
BC Parks' website says this park offers "a chance to explore many unique and interesting features of a volcanic landscape and to learn about the culture and legends of the Nisga'a people." This was so very true for us that day after we picked up Kenny Robinson, a Nisga'a man hitchhiking home from Terrace.
In exchange for a ride, he offered a guided tour of the lava beds and some Nisga'a villages along the way, including the home of a 400-foot suspension bridge: Gitwinksihlkw (Place of the Lizards) where according to oral tradition, large lizards lived there before the eruption.

I also received a warm welcome in the breathtaking village of Gingolx with spectacular views of the ocean and soaring eagles. The locals invited me into their long house to draw door prizes for a gathering and showed me how to prepare smoked salmon.
Using the clunky old cassette-loaded camcorder I had back then, I filmed the day's events, including a terrifying encounter with an aggressive mother grizzly and cubs.

On Canada July 1st, 2011 in Vancouver's Canada Place, the Le La La Dancers from Alert Bay, BC performed First Nations dances in a traditional native ceremony known as a potlatch. They wore masks that depict supernatural creatures including a killer whale (orca), bear and raven. George Taylor, the lead singer and dancer of Le La La Dancers sees himself as a continuation of his ancestors' First Nations way. He learned his native singing and dancing skills years ago as a young boy living in Alert Bay, BC, in the northern part of Vancouver Island. Potlatch and many other aboriginal customs including languages were prohibited by the Canadian government until 1951, yet the First Nations cultural way of life survived to this day through the perseverance of the indigenous people of Canada.

The last great eulachon fishery on Earth is found in British Columbia near the mouth of the Nass River, where the fish return to spawn each year. Eulachon are a species of smelt, known to the indigenous Nisga'a people of the Nass as halimotkw, which translates to ""salvation fish."" Both a foodstuff and a delicacy for the Nisga'a, eulachon today are showing signs of making a comeback after their runs began to collapse in the 1990s. In this video, we get a look at Nisga'a processing the eulachon inside the ""stink box,"" where the fish ferment in vats, and grease from its fatty skin is created. The eulachon’s buttery flesh is so rich in oil that a dried fish will actually light and burn like a candle.

Within many performers invited to the Birgitta Festival (Estonia) in august 2011,
there was a group of very exotic guests almost from the other side of the world.
From the western coast of Canada, Northern part of Vancouver Island came
the Copper Maker Dancers who carry on the Kwakiutl Indians´ culture.
They performed some traditional sacred ceremonies of dance that are practiced
during the gift-giving festivals. Such festivities are called potlatch in kwakwala language.
The indigenous people of North-America shared with us their concern about keeping
the Kwakiutl culture and the kwakwala language alive.
They also shared the joy of demonstrating their ancestral songs and dances
and told us how they try to preserve their heritage and even make it flourish.
Augustikuus 2011 toimunud Birgitta festivalile olid teiste hulgas kutsutud ka väga eksootilised külalised peaaegu teiselt poolt maakera: Kanada läänerannikul, Victoria saare põhjaosas elavate Kwakiutli indiaanlaste vanu kombeid tutvustav trupp „Copper maker dancers" esitas mõningaid pühasid tseremooniaid, mida nad viivad läbi oma traditsioonilistel kinkimispidustustel. Kwakwala keeles tähistab neid pidustusi sõna - potlatch.
Põhja-Ameerika pärismaalased jagasid meiega oma muret kwakwala keele ja Kwakiutli rahva väljasuremisohu pärast , aga samuti rõõme, tutvustades oma iidset kultuuri ja kuidas nad seda säilitada ning taas õitsele puhuda üritavad.
