Gilakas'la

From time immemorial, the Gwa'sala and Nakwaxda'xw peoples harvested food and resources and all the materials we required to support our culture from our land, forests and water. Our lands and water and the creatures that live there figure prominently in our history, social traditions, and ceremonies. Our homelands are central to who we are as a people.  It is our culture.

We invite you to explore our homelands and our rich past which inspires our future.
