Tŝilhqot’in | Tse’khene | Dane-Zaa | St̓át̓imcets | Secwepemcstin | Nłeʔkepmxcín | Nsyilxcən | Nuxalk
The fjordic coast town of Bella Coola, where the Pacific Ocean meets mighty rainforests and unmatched wildlife viewing opportunities, is home to the Nuxalk people and the region’s easternmost point.
Ktunaxa | Secwepemcstin | Nsyilxcən
The Ktunaxa have inhabited the rugged area around the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers on the west side of Canada’s Rockies for more than 10 000 years.
Sm̓algya̱x | Nisg̱a’a | Gitsenimx̱ | Dalkeh | Witsuwit’en | Nedut’en | Danezāgé’ | Tāłtān | Dene K’e | X̱aayda Kil | X̱aad Kil
Many distinct Indigenous people, including the Nisga’a, Tahltan, and Haida, occupy the unique landscapes of Northern BC. Indigenous people co-manage and protect this untamed expanse – more than half of the size of the province – with a world-class system of parks and reserves that contain ancient rainforests and authentic coastal villages, lava fields, and glacial valleys.
Secwepemctsin | Nsyilxcən
The NLaka’pamux, Okanagan and Secwepemc First Nations culture is bound to desert landscapes and fertile soil, dense forests, mountains, and fresh water. Enjoy the modern luxury of traditional Indigenous culture in the Thompson Okanagan region.
She shashishalhem | Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim | Kwak̓wala | Éy7á7juuthem | Hul’q’umi’num’ | Halq’eméylem | hən̓q̓əmin̓əm | St̓át̓imcets | Nle?kepmxc’in
This region is home to the Coast Salish people, including Squamish, Lil’wat, Sto:lo, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. Experience the thrum of urban Vancouver, nearby ancient coastal communities and mountains, forests and fjords, alpine lakes and fertile deltas.
Malchosen | Éy7á7juuthem | SENĆOŦEN | Kwak̓wala | enaksialak̓ala | Hailhzaqvla | Nuučaan̓uɫ | Diitiidʔaatx̣ | a’’islak̓ala
The Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth and Kwakwakaw’akw people have long navigated the waters of the Pacific Ocean around Vancouver Island. They share their deep, respectful relationship with the bountiful ocean and temperate rainforests. The abundance has sustained whale pods and allowed complex metal and wood art to flourish.
