Abstract
Through an adaptive strategy which began with an invitation to Anglican missionaries and extended through accepting Christianity, serving on the village "missionary council," and holding elected office under the Indian Advancement Act, traditional chiefs of the Nishga Indians maintained the continuity of their leadership after the founding of the native Christian village of Kincolith, B.C.
