Northwest Coast Languages
|
Comprising Canada's First Nations Peoples, seven distinct indigenous language and cultural groups have lived on the Northwest Coast between Skagway, Alaska and Seattle, Washington. From north to south, Tlingit, Tsimshian, Haida, Kwakwaka'wakw (aka Kwakiutl, Kwagiutl, Kwagiuth, and Kwaaqyuulth), Bella Coola, West Coast (aka Nuu'chah'nulth, formerly Nootka), and Coast Salish, which includes the Squamish, have each developed highly distinctive cultures and geographical subdivisions or bands. Nonetheless, since Emily Carr operated more in the personal than in the political realm, she probably didn't distinguish much between them, taking them all to her bosom as creative souls living in the margins of majority society, an identification she shared.

House of Sim-oi-Ghets" means "House of Chiefs" in the Tsimshian language. The general store and gift shop was originally built and opened in 1971. In 1995 the Kitsumkalum Community Centre rebuilt the 'House' to resemble a traditional longhouse. The new building was re-opened in April 1996. The store displays an original west coast design by local artist Freda Diesing and depicts the four main crests of Kitsumkalum: Eagle, Killerwhale, Raven, and Wolf, with a Robin on top. The Robin is associated with the legend of how and why the First Nations' people settled here.
