This is a reconstructed village of the First Nations Gitxsan people. On the grounds are totem poles, a small museum, two workshop buildings, a feast house, a building containing dance regalia and a longhouse. Visitors have a choice of paying for admission to the museum and the grounds only or paying for a guided tour of three of the buildings-the regalia, feast and longhouse buildings-which includes admission to the museum and grounds. The guided tour is about 45 minutes long and very interesting. Many items in the three buildings are beautiful works of art.
The site is semi-accessible. The pathways are hard packed gravel. The museum and gift shop are accessible with plenty of room and easy to read exhibits. The tour buildings are only partially accessible. The longhouse, with a ramp, is the best but because there are steps down to the floor level people in wheelchairs will not be able to get a close look at the artifacts. The feast building has steps and an extremely narrow doorway. The regalia building has a ramp which is narrow in one spot. There’s also a high threshold at the doorway.
The parking area is large enough for RVs. Ksan
