Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, nestled in the 
(traditional territories) of the Nuu-chah-nulth people, tells a story of those who have lived here for generations.
Nuu-chah-nulth, or “along the mountains and sea”, refers to the territories along the 300 km stretch of Vancouver Island’s west coast - from Brooks Peninsula in the north to Point-no-Point in the south, and to the Vancouver Island Range in the east.
The resources of this vast ocean and temperate rainforests have traditionally supported the social, cultural and economic well-being of the Nuu-chah-nulth people.
The Nuu-chah-nulth People have a history rich in tradition and culture that is forever connected to the rainforest and the ocean.
