Welcome to the
’Wuìk̓inux̌v Nation
Greetings
Guided by the House of Nuùw̓aqawa, we have thrived on the lands and waters of Rivers Inlet since time immemorial. We are here to walk alongside our community, whether you are at home on the Wànukv River or living across the globe.
This space serves as a gateway—n̓àn̓akila—to our territory, our ’Wùik̓ala language, and our living history. It is a place to connect with our ancestral roots and explore our ongoing sacred responsibility as caretakers of our coastal ecosystems.
’Wùik̓ala word of the day

Translation: supernatural sounds, heard during the C̓àiqa dance season
