Kla'oos

Klahoose country extends from Cortes Island through the channels to Toba Inlet, where steep forested mountains flank a long arm of the sea. The village of ƛəmƛəms stood in the inlet, and Klahoose people also shared a winter village with Tla'amin and Homalco neighbours at Grace Harbour. Canoes connected these shores and islands, allowing families to travel between fishing places and villages. The sheltered waterways joined communities whose territories reached from the outer islands deep into the mainland mountains.
