Traditional Unceded Homeland of the Tea-o-qui-aht First Nation

"We uphold the ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ Nation’s relationships and responsibilities within the web of life that exists here – and use these teachings to guide, balance, and inform newcomers’ influences. 

ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ Tribal Parks Guardians tend to the Intergenerational Gardens, which include the largest intact ancient coastal rainforest on Vancouver Island. The Tribal Parks Allies provide experiences which connect to our story, and support our collective vision for a culturally and ecologically rich coastline forever."
