Ditidaht First Nation

hishuk Ish ts'awalk, everything is one

We have inhabited the land around Nitinaht Lake since time immemorial.

The Ditidaht People understand that all things are connected. This teaching has guided us for over 5,000 years, as we have cared for and been nurtured by the rich natural and spiritual worlds of this land and sea. Our traditional territory is large, stretching from the deep forests surrounding Cowichan and Nitinaht Lakes down to the Pacific Ocean.
