"The Gitksan village of Gitwangak, on the bank of the Skeena River in northern British Columbia, lies near the site of a Gitksan fort that was destroyed in the 1830's. Legend says that the great warrior Nekt built the fort, and the more than 100 objects of material culture illustrated and described in this report relate to him, his descendants, and the descendants of families who lived with him at the fort. The majority of these objects, over three-quarter of which are ceremonial items, were collected in the 1920's and now form part of the collections of the Canadian Ethnology Service, National Museum of Man, National Museums of Canada, Ottawa."--Back cover.
