About the Gitga’at Nation
The Gitga’at First Nation is based in Txalgiuw (Hartley Bay) where the community has existed for millennia in the surrounding lands and waters.
Gitk’a’ata Territory is the ceremonial and political foundation of the Gitga’at First Nation. Historically, the Nation has had very close ties to the lands and waters of our territory. An example of this is seasonal food gathering where members who live elsewhere return home to join
their family for harvest.
