Occupying traditional territories that span from Cortes Island to Toba Inlet,
the Klahoose Nation has existed since time before memory. Our primary village
site, Squirrel Cove, is home to approximately seventy-five full-time residents
who live and work on Cortes Island and in the surrounding areas. The remaining
three hundred and nine members reside off reserve in coastal communities in the
lower mainland and in Washington State. Our territories are rich in resources,
both on land and in the waters that surround us. This abundance helped sustain
our ancestors who carefully managed fish and wildlife to ensure future
generations would have access to these vital resources. In the 1800s Indian
Agents and government surveyors allocated our peoples to ten reserves, limiting
our ability to survive and thrive as our communities had done since time
immemorial.
