Description
Summary:During the late sixties and early seventies, 'Ksan Performing Arts Group was created. They have been the true ambassadors for 'Ksan, for the Gitxsan and the communities in the Upper Skeena, for the Northwest Coast Native People, and for British Columbia and Canada. These images are from the group's first national performance, Breath of Our Grandfathers, at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. The regalia and props used in the performance by the group were all designed and crafted by local Gitxsan artists in the 1960s and 70s.
