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:
“Totem poles and wooden masks no longer suggest tribal villages but fashionable drawing rooms in New York and Paris.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
