Huu-Ay-Aht

The Huu-ay-aht First Nations are a Nuu-chah-nulth Nation located along the west coast of Vancouver Island, with traditional territories that include the lands and waters of Barkley Sound and the Alberni Inlet. For generations, the Huu-ay-aht people have lived in deep relationship with the ocean, rivers, and forests, drawing on ancestral knowledge, cultural teachings, and community strength to guide their way of life.

​

Today, the Huu-ay-aht First Nations are leaders in self-determination and governance, working to strengthen their economy, revitalize their language, and support the wellbeing of their citizens. Grounded in their core values and a profound respect for the interconnectedness of all living things, they continue to protect their territory while building a vibrant future for the next generations.
