Ksan village at the junction of
the Skeena and Bulkley Rivers
is now entering its second year
as a going concern:

The criginal idea of Ksan was
the brainchild of Mary
Middleton, who despairing at
the rapid civilization of the
Coast Indians and the Joss of
their artistic talents formed the
Ksan association. With the help
of the B.C. and Federal
governments the Ksan
association was able in 1968 to
start work on the reconstruction
of the village on the sight of an
earlier village visited by
European traders.

Ksan has not only created a
West Coast awareness among
the natives but also among
many Euopeans of the value of
Indian art forms.

The school carvers and other
artists attend lectures and
classes in each of the many
branches of the arts.

Europeans such as Bill Home
(An analysis of form) of
Washington D.C. and others
equally emminent are brought
in from time to time to give
classes and help with the

development of style and
techniques.

Ksan has in fact been so
successful that many museums
are clamouring for their work.
Orders for re-carving of now
decayed poles are piling up
almost daily.
