Gitxsan hereditary chief Delgamuukw (George Muldoe) dies

George Muldoe, who held the hereditary Gitxsan chief title of Delgamuukw passed down from his brother Earl Muldon , has recently died.
The name Delgamuukw passed to Muldoe after Muldon, who held it during the landmark Gitxsan and Witsuwit'in Supreme Court case defending land rights.
The Supreme Court affirmed the Nations' rights and title over traditional lands and ruled oral histories are valid evidence, a precedent-setting decision.
Michelle Stoney, the great-niece of Delgamuukw, expressed on Facebook that the Gitxsan community mourns the passing of an important chief and respected leader, adding the phrase, "Hugwili yin , Delgamuukw."
Muldoe’s death prompted fond social media remembrances, reflecting his respected service to the community and the ongoing legacy of the hereditary title.
