(Killerwhale clan) (1 house-group), 17 members of the Ganhada (Raven) (1 house-group), and 25 members of the Laxsgiik (Eagle) (2 house-groups, including the House of Sgagweet, with 5 members). George Kelly was a member of the House of Sgagweet. He was adopted into the Gispaxlo'ots in order to perpetuate the House of Ligeex, a house closely related to Sgagweet. The anthropologist Marius Barbeau, in a survey of totem poles, described several poles belonging to various Gitando Laxsgiik houses which had stood in Lax Kw'alaams. One, a Sgagweet pole depicting a Standing Beaver, stood until at least 1947. In addition to the House of Sgagweet, other Gitando houses include: Gilasgamgan—Laxsgiik (Eagle clan) Gistaaku—Laxsgiik (Eagle) Gamayaam—Gispwudwada (Killerwhale) Niisxłoo—Laxsgiik (Eagle) 'Nluulax—Laxsgiik (Eagle) There were ten houses in total in the early 20th century. But infectious disease epidemics and migration decimated the population of the Gitanndo and most tribes of the Tsimshian. In the early 21st century, some six families occupy four houses of the Gitando: i) House of Sgagweet ii) House of Gilasgamgan & Gistaaku iii)House of Geyshluk (from Gamayaam) Sources Barbeau, Marius (1950) Totem Poles. 2 vols.
