From the Culture and Language, Environment and Education departments:
Kelly Steele, the Executive Producer at Might For Right Productions, along with a film crew, has been working with Haisla Nation to create a Heritage portal website that will showcase x̄á’isla culture, traditional practices, knowledge, and stewardship of x̄á’isla territory. This initiative is a collaboration between the Environment department, the Culture and Language department, and the Education department.
The film crew will be present in the Haisla community to gather information and stories for use on the Heritage portal.
Kelly and her team are eager to engage with Haisla Elders and Knowledge Keepers who are open to sharing what they have learned/practice/know regarding various topics such as Grease Trails, The Big House, old cooking pits, Feast protocols, Naming protocols, Death and dying protocols, Traditional Recipes, Butedale, the 1948 Amalgamation, Traplines, Núyem, Plants and medicines, as well as any other subjects relevant to the project.
A list of interested individuals will be compiled and arrangements will be made to meet and converse with those who express their interest. Kindly note that due to a possible high level of interest, it may not be possible to accommodate everyone in one visit. If interest is high, the team will make time for a follow-up visit. We truly appreciate your enthusiasm.
Haisla membership keen on contributing their knowledge, kindly reach out to Tannis Wilson or Chris W Wilson via Facebook today!
Thank you.
Haisla Nation currently has 2-bedroom units available with move-in dates for either August 15th or September 1st.

From the HNC Education Department:
As summer approaches, we want to pass on to our community members the valuable information highlighted in the following bulletin provided to us by Northern Health.
The summer months bring opportunities for outdoor activities and social gatherings, but it's also important to stay informed about health and safety measures. Northern Health has emphasized several key points to ensure everyone enjoys a safe and healthy summer.
By following these guidelines, we can all look forward to a summer filled with joy, relaxation, and good health.
The Haisla Education department is thrilled to announce the upcoming Kitimat Community Services Society Literacy Kitimat Storywalk event!
What is a Storywalk?
A Storywalk involves a self-guided journey through story boards that allow participants to read a selected book while relishing the outdoors. It's a wonderful opportunity for families to stroll, read, and enjoy the experience together.
This year's featured novel is “Oolichan Moon” by Samantha Beynon, illustrated by Lucy Trimble, portraying the tale of two Nisga’a sisters.
The Storywalk will be available for approximately two weeks outside the Haisla Youth Centre building within their enclosed park, starting the week of June 17th.
We kindly request the community's support in ensuring that the story boards remain intact for everyone to appreciate.
In the past year, two Storywalks were organized, one at Centennial Park and the other in the green space near Tamitik in Kitimat.
We are delighted to host the "Oolichan Moon" Storywalk this year and hope you are able to take a stroll and have a read!
The photo below is an example of a story board. Multiple story boards make up a storywalk.
