Check out this excellent documentary about the history and peoples of the Skeena River. Our very own Darren Bolton gave the filmmakers a look at Kitselas Canyon and invited them to witness the historic raising of the Salmon Prince pole at the new Kitselas Community Centre in 2026. Absolutely stunning footage!
