===Social Organization=== Nisga’a society is organized into four tribes: * [[Ganhada]] (G̱anada, [[Raven]]) * [[Gisḵ’aast]] (Gisḵ’aast, [[Killer Whale]]) * [[Laxgibuu]] (Lax̱gibuu, [[Wolf]]) * [[Laxsgiik]] (Lax̱sgiik, [[Eagle]]) Each tribe is further sub-divided into house groups – extended families with the same origins. Some houses are grouped together into clans – grouping of houses with same ancestors. Example: [[File:Nisgaa mask Louvre MH 81-22-1.jpg|thumb|Mask with open eyes, worn during winter {{lang|ncg|halait}} ceremonies, 18th–early 19th century]] *Lax̱gibuu Tribe (Wolf Tribe) ** Gitwilnaak’il Clan (People Separated but of One) *** House of Bax̱k'ap *** House of K’eex̱kw *** House of Gwingyoo *** House of Duuḵ
