We are grateful to members of the Heiltsuk Nation in Bella Bella and beyond, for their gracious welcome and their invitation to work in respectful partnership in their traditional territories.
The Bella Bella Community School offers a full K-12 program whose curriculum incorporates Heiltsuk culture and traditions, supports the development of life-long independent learners, and seeks to qualify students to enter post-secondary school.
For over thirty years, the Heiltsuk Cultural Education Centre has been devoted to researching, preserving, and revitalizing the history, language and cultural traditions of the Heiltsuk Nation.
The First Nations and Endangered Languages Program at the University of British Columbia is committed to community-based collaboration with First Nations peoples.
