The Skull symbolizes strength, transformation, and the interconnectedness of life and death.
The Ts'msyen people, a matrilineal society from the Northwest Coast of Canada and Alaska, are known for their totem pole carvings and ceremonial feasts. Their deep connection to the land is central to their identity. They maintained winter villages near Prince Rupert Harbour and returned to summer villages along the Skeena River for the salmon season. They have lived in the Prince Rupert region for over 5,000 years and continue to do so today.
