Who are the three men pictured on the exhibit banner?
All three are Gitxsan who held the hereditary chief (Sim’oogit) name Delgamuukw during the time span of the exhibit, 1977-2002. Gitxsan hereditary chief names are passed from generation-to-generation. In the middle is Albert Tait who was Delgamuukw when the statement of claim was filed by the Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en in 1984. When Albert passed away Ken Muldoe (left) became Delgamuukw and he was a Sim’oogit when the original trial began in 1987. After Ken died, Earl Mudoe (right) was selected and was Delgamuukw during the conclusion of the court action. Earl continues as Sim’oogit Delgamuukw today and lives in Hazelton.
