There are five known traditional village sites, many of which were abandoned due to smallpox epidemics. Today the Kitselas Nation has its two main communities in the villages of Gitaus (Git’aws) and Kulspai (Gn spa).

Archeological surveys suggest that the Kitselas Canyon site is a heritage site of national importance. There are a number of important petroglyphs on Dry Island and Ringbolt Island, the largest of which is 2.1m x 1.8m. One notable glyph “represents two human figures shown in frontal view and at least two animal figures in profile. Both of these human figures are wearing headdresses that may indicate shamanic activity.”
