Nass River
Northwestern Canadian river
The Nass River is a major waterway in northwestern British Columbia, flowing about 380 kilometers from the Coast Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.
It runs through the traditional territory of the Nisga'a people, whose name derives from the river.
The Nass River salmon runs have sustained Indigenous communities for thousands of years.
