Ts’msyen History and Presence
•With a population that is over half First Nations, Prince Rupert is located in the traditional territory of the Ts’msyen.
•The local First Nations’ adaawx (history), indicates that the North Coast of British Columbia has been inhabited by their peoples for over 10,000 years.
•The Ts’msyen took up seasonal residences throughout the territory according to resource harvesting and trade cycles.
•The people of the coast relied heavily on salmon, shellfish, eulachon, seaweed and many of the other diverse marine species of the area, a diet complimented by the harvest of berries and other inland resources.
