The Tlowitsis Nation territories span the coastal area of Northern Vancouver Island, Johnstone Strait and adjacent mainland inlets. From time immemorial until the 1960s they occupied numerous sites throughout these lands. Seasonal travel routes, food processing locations, burial and cultural sites and other named places extend across the entire territory. Kalugwis, located on Turnour Island, was their primary winter residence.In the 1960s, the Government closed down the school and monthly hospital ship on Kalugwis. With no prospect of education alternatives to residential school and no access to health care, the community gradually left Kalugwis and dispersed throughout Vancouver Island and southern British Columbia. The Nation is currently experiencing an exciting period of revitalization as its dispersed population reconnects with each other and their shared identity as a people.Band OfficeCampbell River, more...
