- Traditional knowledge meets Western science on the central coast of British Columbia.
Hauyat is a quiet inlet along the central coast of British Columbia, sheltered from the wild swells of the open Pacific Ocean, about 400 kilometers north of Vancouver. An outsider may see few traces of human habitation on the landscape, but the ancestors of the Heiltsuk Nation lived here for millennia, managing the landscape and cultivating a deep connection between people and place. People stopped living at Hauyat in the 20th century, but many still visit and recall childhoods spent here, in the words of one elder, learning how to be Heiltsuk. Today, many Heiltsuk live nearby in the small village of Bella Bella, which has been in the news more than usual of late. In September, it was the site of a royal visit by Prince William and Duchess Catherine. In October, the US articulated tugboat Nathan E. Stewart ran aground nearby, spilling diesel into the surrounding waters for a month before crews finally salvaged it on November 14.
This video explores the importance of this coastal place to the Heiltsuk and highlights an ongoing collaborative project that combines Western science with traditional knowledge to tell the story of Hauyat.

Beautiful and informative video, thank you!
I'm almost motivated to jump through the hoops to get my Status-card. I have Heiltsuk and Tsimshian ancestry, and really wanna learn more about BC archaeology...
Beautiful!!
Amazing😭❤️ i want to do work in my territory one day
Indeed. Walking nature's balance, giving back to it's abundance, "...we(e),...", of illimitable potential, indivisible as life, are to be this day what it is to be this day. Thanx :) reality
Sockeye without a doubt the best fish!
What is the reasoning for using the term "Western Science" as opposed to just Science?
Good video though. This place looks awesome. It makes me wonder what the face of the planet is going to look like in another 75-100 years. How many more cities we will have, how the land becomes more and more developed to accommodate them and more.
The term science is a construct that minimizes non-settler cultures' discoveries, histories, technologies, etc. It's the same with using the word medicine, which is why we now use Western Medicine when we're discussing medicinal practices from other cultures. They've used 'Western Science' here out of respect for the First Nations teachings and worldview.
Makes you wonder why they left ?
They didn't they just moved on
Pristine ?? Tell that to the guys building a huge oil line right at the coast, those fr’s make me sick there gonna destroy this coast if Japan already hasn’t ! Just saying !
Wouldn’t that suck your stuck living there a thousand years ago and you can’t stand seafood lol 😝
