Nass River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nass River is a river in northern British Columbia, Canada. It flows 380 km (235 miles) from the Coast Mountains southwest Nass Bay, a sidewater of Observatory Inlet, itself an arm of Portland Inlet, which connects to the North Pacific Ocean via the Dixon Entrance.
The last 40 km (25 miles) of the river are navigable. The river is a commercially-valuable salmon fishery. The basin of the Nass is the location of the first modern-day treaty settlement in British Columbia, between the government of that province and the ancient Nisga'a Nation. Nisga'a means "people of the Nass".
