Tla'amin

The Tla'amin homeland embraces the mainland coast and nearby islands of the northern Salish Sea. Villages stood beside the sheltered waters and salmon streams; at tiskʷət, people gathered seasonally near the outlet of Powell Lake. Farther north, the winter village at Grace Harbour was shared with some Homalco and Klahoose families. Canoes carried people between these places, while fishing grounds, shellfish beds and forest resources supported life along the inlets and islands.
