Tanakteuk

Tanakteuk, also known as Da’naxda’xw, is a Kwakwaka’wakw people of Knight Inlet. Their country follows the long inlet and the rivers that descend from the mountains into it. At its head the Klinaklini River reaches the sea, with a village of the Tanakteuk at its mouth. The steep shores and waterways of this country are also the setting for ancestral stories, including an account of a great flood and the people who prepared for its coming.
