The Kitimat Museum & Archives respectfully acknowledges that we are located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Haisla Nation. We recognize the deep and enduring connection the Haisla people have to these lands, waters, and all that they sustain—connections rooted in thousands of years of stewardship, cultural practice, and governance.
We honour the Haisla people as the original caretakers of this region and are committed to walking alongside them in the spirit of respect, relationship, and reconciliation. As a cultural institution, we strive to support and amplify Haisla voices, histories, and futures in our work, and to ensure our programs and exhibits reflect this ongoing responsibility.
The Kitimat Museum & Archives preserves and shares the natural and cultural history of Kitimat and the Haisla Nation. Since opening in 1969, it has served as a vibrant space for exhibitions, education, and community engagement, offering year-round access to stories, artifacts, archives, and regional visual art.
