註釋

During the mid-eighteenth century, early influences from coastal trade in iron from Russian sources had repercussions on Indian villages up the Nass and Skeena rivers. Eulachon grease trails that had been established between villages for millennia took on new strategic importance in intertribal warfare once iron began to move along them. Kitwanga Fort was probably one of many settlements established to control this new trade. This report describes the cultural setting of the area, including the history of the tribes on the Northern Northwest Coast, the trails and trade, early historical contacts, and exploration of the Skeena River; and the physical setting at the Ta'awdzep Site, including geology, botany, excavations, test trenches, cultural stratigraphy, and the reconstruction of the model of Kitwanga Fort.
