Gitlaxt'aamiks, Indigenous village in Nass Valley, British Columbia, Canada.
The Nisga'a Lisims Government building stands at the center of Gitlaxt'aamiks, featuring modern offices and a circular council chamber for administrative functions.
The settlement relocated to its current position in the 1970s after floods affected the original site, leading to the construction of new infrastructure on higher ground.
The Unity Totem Pole, raised in 1977 near the Nisga'a Elementary Secondary School, represents the first totem constructed in the Nass Valley since the 1800s.
Visitors reach Gitlaxt'aamiks through a paved road network connecting to Terrace, British Columbia, with the journey taking approximately two hours by car.
The village sits above an extensive lava field created during the 18th century when the Tseax Cone erupted, forming the current geological landscape.
