Description From Owner:

Skidegate - The Haidas had the practice of referring to a village sometimes by its own proper name and sometimes by the hereditary name of its principal chief.
Skidegate comes from 'Skit-ei-get,' said to mean 'red paint stone,' and was the hereditary name of the principal chief of the village (the name of which can be translated as 'pool of boulders village').
Samuel Patterson records that in July 1805 his ship, the Juno of Bristol, 'anchored at Skittagates.' Mention of 'Skettegats' was made in 1826 by Chief Factor McLoughlin of the HBC.
