A Faith in God's Will In 1864 a missionary, Rev. R. Doolan, settled Gwin Wok. By 1867 there were so many Christians in that village that they decided to start their own Christian community at Iceberg Bay. They built a large faft so that the move would be as simple as possible. As they neared the coast a strong wind blew up and pussed their raft north till it grounded at a place called "Gingolx". The villagers took this wind as a sign from God and decided to found their village on that site. |

The Nisga'a have always been
hardworking and community oriented. Christ Church was
completed in 1900. It is the last remaining of the many
original native built churches on the coast. Churches are still important. The modern church, was finished in 1992. |
