"The Gitksan Indian village of Gitwangak is the best-documented totem village on the Northwest Coast. The village lies on the bank of the Skeena River in northern British Columbia, near the hilltop site of a Gitksan fort that was destroyed in the 1830's. The totem poles, erected between 1840 and 1942, are a surviving set of artifacts that record, in a unique way, the history of the Kitwanga fort and the families that occupied it."--Back cover.
