Histories, Territories and Laws of the Kitwancool by Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs et al.Call Number: E78.B9 H57 2022 (Law)
Publication Date: 2022
Until the mid-twentieth century, the village of Gitanyow (once Kitwancool) was only accessible to outsiders by trail. This inaccessibility of territory protected a deeply independent spirit and unique legal system, recorded here as part of an agreement that allowed for the removal of Gitanyow totem poles to the Royal BC Museum for preservation. The complete histories of the Gitanyow, told in their own words, were also translated and recorded here as part of the same agreement.
