Totem Poles are one form of expression by Haida, Tsalmsian, Kwa Kwakwala and Salish people used to communicate information. We 'signed' our property using the Haida Art style carving.

Circa 1233 A.D. there was a small migration out of China of the Royal families and Aristocracies under attack by Genghis Khan. After 18 years the whole contingent escaped from Chung-Hsing and disappeared from Chinese history.

Guided by a Khitan Liao Family, Yelu Apoachi, following information known to the chinese Imperial family, they sailed across the Pacific and took refuge at Hagwilget Canyon; This is the source of the prefix term Kit.

Concerned that the Mongols, who had so far conquered Asia and some of Europe, and would eventually track down the true Royals, the migrants adopted a strategy to avoid being extinguished.

The Matriarchal Line which is Negro and descends from Eve, moved to Haida Gwaii where they are still known as the "Watchmen."

The Khitan family located at Hagwilget where our totem stands above the Canyon.

Circa 1400 A.D. a contingent was dispatched to survey the American Continent and they journeyed almost to Mexico. They are the modern Navaho and Apache.

The Totem Culture of Potlatch waned after 1884 under the Potlatch law and only began to revive after 1951 when the ban on our culture was lifted.
