Kispiox, British Columbia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kispiox is a Gitxsan village of approximately 550 in the Kispiox Valley at the confluence of the Kispiox and Skeena Rivers in British Columbia. Located 13 km north of Hazelton, the community is situated within the Kispiox Indian Reserve and is managed by the Kispiox Band Council.

Kispiox is perhaps most known to outsiders for its totem poles, some of which were the subject of Emily Carr paintings in the early 20th Century.
