Near Gitwangax, you cannot miss historical wooden totem poles. In the 1830s, Eagle (Laxskik) and Wolf (Laxgibu) clans commemorated their history in a series of carved house poles.
They were originally erected along the shore of the Skeena River.

A wide-open view of the gorgeous Kitwanga River valley and a high grassy hill, previously the site of a fortified settlement where the Gitwangak people defended their land in the mid-1700s to 1800s, may be seen at Gitwangak Battle Hill National Historic Site, formerly Kitwanga Fort.
