The marker reads:

Moricetown Canyon

This site, once the largest
village of the Bulkley Valley
Indians, later was named after the
pioneer missionary, Father Morice.
Salmon, staple food of the
Indian, concentrated in the canyon
and were caught with basketry
traps, dip-nets, and harpoons. Indians still catch salmon with
long gaff nooks and smoke them
at this historic native fishery.
