List of Nuxalk villages


This is a list of Nuxalk villages.
By 1953 there were only two bodies of Nuxalk left: The Kimsquit, on Dean Inlet; and the Bella Coola, at the mouth of Bella Coola River. Older writers speak of the Nuhalk, which was the name of the Bella Coola Valley; Talyumc, whose village at the head of South Bentinck Arm was abandoned about 1933; and the Noothlakamishb on North Bentinck Arm, reported by Tolmie, and by Dawson in 1884.
Today Nuxalkmc live primarily in two villages, the village of Bella Coola, and the village of Snxlhh, also known as 4-mile, but continue to use their entire territory.
