The Oweekeno-Kitasoo-Nuxalk Tribal Council is a First Nations tribal council comprising band governments of three indigenous peoples of the Central Coast region of British Columbia, Canada. The tribal council, composed of three band governments, spans four different cultures and languages:
- the Wuikinuxv or Oweekeno, based at Rivers Inlet
- the Nuxalk, based at Bella Coola
- the joint Tsimshian-Heiltsuk community people known as the Kitasoo/Xaixais Nation whose village is located at Klemtu.
Famous quotes containing the words tribal and/or council:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”

“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
