Submission: Tsabax Wilmer Johnson
This is Tsabax Wilmer Johnson.
Photo #1
He liked to teach the importance of education and also to learn your territory boundaries and house you belong to. He was the Chief Tsabax of Wilps Tsabax a wolf clan in Gitaanmax. Gitaanmax means people of the torch lit fishing. Way back he told a story of how they use to light a torch and stick it in the ground. Fish would be attracted to it. Then they had a almost wider paddle shape to scoop the fish on to shore and clubbed them. I loved my pas stories. Wish I recorded him.
Photo #2
My dad (Late Tsabax) Wilmer Johnson shared what Skeena River(Sien) originally was Sien. Couldn’t pronounce it so it was changed to skeena. Sien Meaning = River of mist.
Gitwangak was people of the land of rabbits. Used to be so many rabbits as far as the eye could see.
