List Of Nuxalk Villages
This is a list of Nuxalk villages. By 1953 there were only two bodies of Nuxalk left: The Kimsquit, on Dean Inlet; and the Bella Coola, at the mouth of Bella Coola River. Older writers speak of the Nuhalk (Nuxalk), which was the name of the Bella Coola Valley; Talyumc, whose village at the head of South Bentinck Arm (Ats'aaxlh) was abandoned about 1933; and the Noothlakamishb (Nuxalkmc) on North Bentinck Arm, reported by Tolmie, and by Dawson in 1884. Today Nuxalkmc live primarily in two villages, the village of Bella Coola, and the village of Snxlhh, also known as 4-mile, but continue to use their entire territory. Villages (as given by McIlwraith, cited by John Reed Swanton) Modern Nuxalk language orthography is in brackets, as is the meaning of the name. *Aimats (Aymats), north of Ahutskwakstl (Anutsqaaxlh) near the Peisela River (Piisla). *Aketi (Acati), on the south side of the Dean River (about 1 mile from the sea) *Anutlitlk, near the mouth of Dean River, still occu ...

Nuxalk
The Nuxalk people (Nuxalk: ''Nuxalkmc''; pronounced )'','' also referred to as the Bella Coola, Bellacoola or Bilchula, are an Indigenous First Nation of the Pacific Northwest Coast, centred in the area in and around Bella Coola, British Columbia. Their language is also called Nuxalk. Their on-reserve tribal government is the Nuxalk Nation. Name and tribes/groups The name "Bella Coola", often used in academic writing, is not preferred by the Nuxalk; it is a derivation of the neighbouring Wakashan-speaking coastal Heiltsuk people's name for the Nuxalk as ''bəlxwəlá'' or ''bḷ́xʷlá'', meaning "stranger" (rendered plxwla in Nuxalk orthography). Within the Nuxalk language, "Nuxalkmc" is the term for the people, and "ItNuxalkmc" is the term for the language, and these terms are increasingly being used in English locally. The Nuxalk peoples, known today collectively as Nuxalkmc, are made up of lineages representing several ancestral villages within their territory. From Kimsq ...

Fjord
In physical geography, a fjord or fiord () is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by a glacier. Fjords exist on the coasts of Alaska, Antarctica, British Columbia, Chile, Denmark, Germany, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Ireland, Kamchatka, the Kerguelen Islands, Labrador, Newfoundland, New Zealand, Norway, Novaya Zemlya, Nunavut, Quebec, the Patagonia region of Argentina and Chile, Russia, South Georgia Island, Tasmania, United Kingdom, and Washington state. Norway's coastline is estimated to be long with its nearly 1,200 fjords, but only long excluding the fjords. Formation A true fjord is formed when a glacier cuts a U-shaped valley by ice segregation and abrasion of the surrounding bedrock. According to the standard model, glaciers formed in pre-glacial valleys with a gently sloping valley floor. The work of the glacier then left an overdeepened U-shaped valley that ends abruptly at a valley or trough end. Such valleys are fjords wh ...
