It is inland, but maybe the ‘Ksan Museum has documents in their collection about coastal/Marine smokehouses.

Hi! I am looking for information regarding Ts’msyen (Tsimshian) smokehouses. Archival photos, notes on dimensions, etc are all helpful. Specifically, I am after the marine Tsimshian smokehouses, which differ from the inland ones. Those villages are: Kitkatla, Metlakatla, Lax K’walaams, Hartley Bay, and Klemtu.
