We Are Grateful To Be Visitors On This Land
Bass Coast takes place on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Nlaka'pamux and Syilx people.
"This Land belongs to the people of the creeks. The language and customs are of the Nlaka'pamux Nation, one of the Interior Salish Nations that have lived for thousands of years along the Thompson and Nicola Rivers in the Southern Interior of British Columbia."
