Kispiox

Kispiox is perhaps most known to outsiders for its totem poles, some of which were the subject of Emily Carr paintings in the early 20th century.

The totem poles of Kispiox were featured as part of an episode of the 1975 David Attenborough documentary series The Tribal Eye.

The episode, "Crooked Beak of Heaven", focused on traditional customs and art of the Gitxsan and neighbouring tribes.

Kispiox has remained a favourite tourist attraction for its historical village, traditional artifacts and fishing.

The original and traditional name of Kispiox Village is "Anspay'axw", loosely translated from the Gitxsan language; this means "The Hiding Place".
