The Nisga'a, often formerly spelled Nishga and spelled in the Nisga'a language as Nisga'a, are an Indigenous nation or First Nation in Canada. They live in the Nass River valley of northwestern British Columbia. Their name comes from a combination of two Nisga’a words: Nisk’-"top lip" and Tl’ak’-"bottom lip". This term was used because K’alii-aksim Lisims (Nass River Valley) is so bountiful that many living creatures come to it to feed.

  • The Nisga'a, often formerly spelled Nishga and spelled in the Nisga'a language as Nisga'a, are an Indigenous nation or First Nation in Canada. They live in the Nass River valley of northwestern British Columbia. Their name comes from a combination of two Nisga’a words: Nisk’-"top lip" and Tl’ak’-"bottom lip". This term was used because K’alii-aksim Lisims (Nass River Valley) is so bountiful that many living creatures come to it to feed. The Nisga’a saw that every living creature used its Nisk’ and Tl'ak’ to eat, therefore... Nisga’a!
  • Die Nisga'a sind eine kanadische First Nation im Nordwesten der Provinz British Columbia, genauer im Tal des Nass River. Zu ihr gehören etwa 6.000 Menschen, die sich auf vier Dörfer und drei städtische Zentren verteilen. Neben Vancouver, Prince Rupert und Terrace lebt der Kern des Stammes (etwa 2500 Menschen) in den Dörfern Gitlakdamix (New Aiyansh), Gitwinksihlkw (Canyon City), Laxgalts'ap (Greenville) und Gingolx (Kincolith), die am Nass River liegen. Traditionell bilden vier Klane den Stamm: Ganhada (Rabe), Gispwudwada, Laxgibuu (Wolf) und Laxsgiik (Adler). Zu den vier Dörfern bzw. den dazugehörigen Stämmen gehörten entsprechend der Listen des Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development im Juli 2009 genau 5.746 als Status-Indianer anerkannte Menschen (davon im Reservat, in einem anderen Reservat, außerhalb des Reservats): Nisga'a Village of Gingolx 387, 66, 1487, zusammen 1.940 Nisga'a Village of Gitwinksihlkw (Canyon City) 181, 26, 177, zusammen 384 Nisga'a Village of Laxgalt'sap (Greenville) 530, 49, 1076, zusammen 1.655 Nisga'a Village of New Aiyansh (Gitlakdamix) 842, 48, 877, zusammen 1.767
