Visiting Prince Rupert, Canada


Situated off the shores of continental British Columbia on secluded Kaien Island, Prince Rupert is steeped in the history of the Pacific Northwest. The area is the heart of Tsimshian Nation and is home also to other First Nations, including Haida, Gitksan and Nisga'a people. Visitors can learn more about the land's original inhabitants at the First Nations Carving Shed or by taking a guided tour of Prince Rupert's impressive Totem Pole collection, featuring both Tsimshian and Haida works.
