Huu-ay-aht First Nations

The Huu-ay-aht First Nations (HFN) is a self-governing, modern treaty Nation whose lands are located in the Barclay Sound region on the the west coast of Vancouver Island at the entrance to the Port Alberni inlet. The lands and waters making up the traditional territories (Ha-houlthee) of the Huu-ay-aht have been occupied by the Nation since time immemorial. Today, Huu-ay-aht citizens number close to 750 and primarily reside around the village of Anacla, the Nation’s principal community close to Bamfield, as well as Port Alberni, the closest population center. The balance of citizens live across Vancouver Island, in the Vancouver area, and beyond.
