Description
Summary:�The Battle of Champions at the Kitselas Fortress,� shows how two designated warriors settled a dispute about access to trade routes on the Skeena River. The Tsimshian and Athabaskan communities each fronted one of their best fighters, armed with personal totems, wooden shin guards and copper daggers (weapons, apparently, worth a slave), and the resulting battle was enough to settle the issue permanently, with no further loss of life.
