Welcome to the Gitanmaax Band
Gitanmaax is located in the heart of the Gitxsan territories in west central British Columbia. The community is situated on the junction of the Skeena and Bulkley river adjacent to the Village of Hazelton.
The Gitanmaax Band office is located in Old Hazelton and houses the Education, Social and Economic Development, Housing, Membership, and Finance Departments. The Brighter Futures Program is run out of the Youth Drop-In at the Gitanmaax Hall and our Operations & Maintenance crew operates out of their compound on Highway 62.
The Gitanmaax Band operates under the umbrella of the Gitxsan Government Commission along with Glen Vowell, Gitwangak, Gitanyow, and Kispiox. Chief and Council, one Chief and twelve Councillors, are chosen by election every two years.
