About Me

My people live in the Land of the Totem Poles in northern British Columbia, Canada. We are the ‘Originals’, the Coast Ts’msyen. I am Gilut’sau Band of the Royal House of Niis’gumiik, Gispudwada (Blackfish/Orca) Clan. https://laxkwalaams.ca/  I am descended from a powerful line of leaders, princess/matriarchs, storytellers, mediators/negotiators, spirit doctors, singers, actors, musicians and dancers.
