(Near wharf at Metlakatla)

On this ancient Tsimshian site, Anglican missionary William Duncan sought to create in 1862 a self-sustaining community.  New homes arose, education flourished, native crafts expanded and new trades developed.  Here was built in 1874 the largest church north of San Francisco.  In 1887 Duncan and many of the band moved to Alaska.  Fire destroyed the church and much of the village in 1901.
