Keepers of the coast
Keepers of the Coast provides an in-depth look at how the Kitasoo Xai’xais, Heiltsuk, Nuxalk, and Wuikinuxv Nations are stewarding our marine territories.
The Central Coast is one of the most spectacular and biologically rich places on the planet. The Heiltsuk, Kitasoo Xai’xais, Nuxalk and Wuikinuxv people have inhabited these areas for thousands of years.
