Indigenous/ Settler (author): There is geographic overlap between Indigenous regions and nations, and colonial borders don't necessarily line up with the traditional Indigenous regions that predate them. The grouping designating "local" Indigenous peoples was based on Indigenous regions connected to Vancouver Island. Over 50 nations call this island home, and other nations on the mainland belong to the three Indigenous regions designated as "local." Some local First Nations may be on the American side of the colonial border. Please Google the name of the specific nation to confirm if they belong to one of the three local regions (Coast Salish, Kwakwaka'wakw, Nuu-chah-nulth) or the Métis Nation of Greater Victoria.
