The Gitxsan Huwilp Government has implemented a fishing ban for rivers within their territory.
This includes parts of the Babine, Bulkley, Nass, Kispiox, and Skeena Rivers within Gitxsan territory northwest of Hazelton.
According to a post on their Facebook page, this ban does not affect Gitxsan members.
“We ask everyone to respect our laws, our land, and our rights as First Nations Gitxsan to protect our resources for our people today, and for future generations,” it added.
This is in effect for the 2025 fishing season.
