Lax Ksiluux, British Columbia

Lax Ksiluux is the name of a former First Nations community in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It existed on the south side of the Nass River near a creek known as Ts'oohl Ts'ap. [ [http://www.citytel.net/~nisga1/Gitwinksihlkw.html Gitwinksihlkw] ]

Lax Ksiluux was in existence prior to the eruption of Tseax Cone in the 1700s which buried the community with thick lava flows along with the nearby community of Wii Lax K'abit. [ [http://ilmbwww.gov.bc.ca/bcgn-bin/bcg10?name=39898 BCGNIS entry "Gitwinksihlkw"] ]
