Landslide near Skeena River kills woman and many Indians
A remote Skeena River landslide destroyed nine houses near the Northern Pacific cannery. The foreman's wife and about forty Indigenous people from Port Simpson Sitka Metalakatlah and Kitimat were killed or missing, with thirteen Indian bodies recovered two days later. Heavy rains likely caused the slide, which narrowly missed the cannery by about two feet. The tribes mourn their dead and fear further fatalities.
