Gitxsan (also spelled Gitksan) are an Indigenous people in Canada whose home territory comprises most of the area known as the Skeena Country in English (Git: means "people of" and Xsan: means "the River of Mist"). Gitksan territory encompasses approximately 35,000 km2 (14,000 sq mi) of land, from the basin of the upper Skeena River from about Legate Creek to the Skeena's headwaters and its surrounding tributaries. Part of the Tsimshianic language group, their culture is considered to be part of the civilization of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, although their territory lies in the Interior rather than on the Coast. They were at one time also known as the Interior Tsimshian, a term which also included the Nisga'a, the Gitxsan's neighbours to the north. Their neighbo

  • Die Gitxsan oder Gitksan (Aussprache: „GIT-san“, in Kanada meist jedoch: „GIT-k-san“) sind eine mehrere First Nations umfassende Stammesgruppe im Westen der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Ihr traditionelles Stammesgebiet umfasste ca. 33.000 km² im Einzugsgebiet des Middle Skeena River bis zu dessen Quellgebiet und dessen nördlichen Nebenflüssen; zudem beanspruchten die nah verwandten Gitanyow, die meist zu den Gitxsan gezählt werden, ein ca. 17.000 km² umfassendes Stammesterritorium (Ga Lax’yip Gitanyow) entlang der Flussgebiete des Middle and Upper Nass River sowie dem Flussgebiet des Upper Skeena River (Kitwanga und Kispiox Rivers). Ihr Name leitet sich daher auch von Git („Volk von/vom“) sowie von Xsan oder Ksan („Nebelfluss“), ihrer Bezeichnung für den Skeena River, ab. Gitxsan (de)
