Moricetown Canyon

History
This site was once the largest village of the Bulkley Valley Indians and later was named after the pioneer missionary Father Morice. Salmon, the staple food of the Indians, concentrated in the canyon and were caught with basketry traps, dip-nets, and harpoons. Indians still catch salmon with long gaff hooks and smoke them at this historic native fishery.
