Hi my name is Katie Portlock and I am a Tsimshian Indian in the Eagle clan. During the course of researching my history I came across many helpful links and compiled them together on this web page. I hope it'll be of help to any of you who are interisted in the Tsimshians or Northwest Coast Indians.
