Laxgalts’ap: Where River Meets Sea

One of four Nisga’a communities in the Nass Valley, the village of Laxgalts’ap is located on the Nass River estuary, approximately 150 kilometers north of Terrace. Home to around 500 residents, Laxgalts’ap offers rich cultural history, natural beauty, and world-class fishing.

Laxgalts’ap means “village on village,” an acknowledgement that the current village is built on a series of Nisga’a communities that have occupied this site for millennia.

The Nisga’a Museum recommends budgeting a full day for your experience in order to spot at a few of the Auto Tour locations along Highway 113. From waterfalls to lava beds, this auto tour will set the stage for your museum visit and let you take in the wonder of the Nass Valley. For more information, please see Discover Nisga’a.
