Witset

Witset stands beside a canyon of the Bulkley River, an important fishing place in Wet’suwet’en country. Salmon returning upstream pass through the narrow waters, drawing families to the river in summer. Wet’suwet’en people gathered at fishing villages and feasts along the Bulkley, while winter brought movement into their dispersed house territories to hunt and fish. Their oral history remembers the ancestral village of Dizkle upstream from the canyon.
