Title

"An Early Nineteenth Century Prophet Among the Gitksan"

Description:

"An Early Nineteenth Century Prophet Among the Gitksan"

"I want now to show that Spier was indeed correct and that

there was at least one pre-Bini prophetic movement among the

Gitksan of the Upper Skeena. Our prophet's name was yaqa siitee. He was a Gitksan who lived in the village of Kisgegas,

located on the Babine River a few miles above its confluence

with the Skeena."
