At Gitwangak Battle Hill National Historic Site
(formerly Kitwanga Fort), scan wide-open views of the scenic Kitwanga
River valley and a high grassy knoll, once the site of a fortified
village where the Gitwangak people defended their domain in the
mid-1700s to 1800s. Hear the whisper of First Nations legends in the air
around you as you stand beneath a line of majestic age-old totem poles
at nearby Gitwangak Village.
Visitez le lieu historique de la Colline-Battle
Hill-des-Gitwangaks (anciennement le fort Kitwanga) et admirez le
panorama pittoresque que propose la vallée de la rivière Kitwanga
surplombée d’une haute colline gazonnée. Celle-ci fut autrefois le site
d’un village fortifié où les Gitwangaks défendirent leur domaine du
milieu du XVIIIe siècle jusqu’au début du XIXe siècle. Au village des
Gitwangaks situé à proximité, prêtez l’oreille au murmure de la brise
qui évoque les légendes des Premières Nations à l’ombre d’une rangée de
mâts totémiques majestueux et anciens.
