The Skeena, known as the “river of mists,” cuts a major cleft through the Coast Mountains. For Coastal Tsimshian Indians and Interior tribes, it was vital for trade and travel. In later years, Port Essington near the river’s mouth became the main port of this swift, treacherous waterway, a route that served pioneers from the 1860s to 1914, when the railway was built.
