- Tsimshian abstract "The Tsimshian (/ˈsɪmʃiən/; Sm'algyax: Ts’msyan) are an indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest Coast. Tsimshian translates to Inside the Skeena River. Their communities are in British Columbia and Alaska, around Terrace and Prince Rupert and the southernmost corner of Alaska on Annette Island. The Tsimshian Nation comprises approximately 10,000 members, of the seven member First Nations which include: Kitselas, Kitsumkalum, the Allied Tribes of Lax Kw'Alaams, Metlakatla, Kitkatla, Gitga'at (Hartley Bay) and Kitasoo (Klemtu). The Tsimshian is one of the largest groups of First Nations' people in Northwest British Columbia, Canada. Their culture is matrilineal with a societal structure based on a clan system, properly referred to as a moiety. Early anthropologists and linguists grouped Gitxsan and Nisga'a as Tsimshian because of linguistic affinities. Under this terminology they were referred to as Coast Tsimshian, even though some communities were not coastal. The three groups identify as separate nations. There are many other ways to spell the name, such as Tsimpshean, Tsimshean, Tsimpshian, and others, but this article will use the spelling \"Tsimshian\".At one time the Tsimshian lived on the upper reaches of the Skeena River near present-day Hazelton BC. After a series of disasters befell the people, a prince led a migration away from the cursed land to the coast, where they founded Kitkatla. Following suit, other Tsimshian chiefs later migrated down the river and began to occupy all the lands of the lower Skeena valley. Over time these groups developed a new dialect of their ancestral language and came to regard themselves as a distinct population, the Tsimshian proper, while still sharing all the rights and customs of the Gitksan, their kin on the upper Skeena.In 1862 a smallpox epidemic annihilated many Tsimshian people. Further epidemics ravaged their communities until the late 1890s. Altogether, one in four Tsimshian died in a series of at least three large-scale outbreaks, .In the 1880s the Anglican missionary William Duncan, with a group of Tsimshian, requested settlement on Annette Island from the U.S. government. After approval, the group founded New Metlakatla in Alaska. Duncan later requested that the community gain reservation status, and eventually, with the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, it became the only Native reservation in the state.The New Metlakatla Tsimshian maintained their reservation status and holdings exclusive of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. They do not have an associated Native Corporation, although Tsimshian in Alaska may be shareholders of the Sealaska Corporation.The Annette Island reservation was the only location in Alaska allowed to maintain fish traps, which were otherwise banned when Alaska became a state in 1959. The traps are used to provide food for people living on the reservation. Legally the community was required to use the traps at least once every three years or lose the right permanently. This practice was stopped early in the 2000s and they are no longer allowed.".
