The Wuikinuxv traditional territory has a long and

rich cultural history.

The Wuikinuxv people

were of high rank

within the Hamatsa

society and were

sought after as mates.

The Hamatsa dance

society originated in

Wuikinuxv and spread across the coast through marriage. Many people recognize some of the

known songs and dances as holding their origins

from Wuikinuxv territory. We would like to take this

time to thank everyone who has kept this legacy alive.
