The Gwatʼsinux or Quatsino, meaning the “northern people”, for whom Quatsino Sound on northern Vancouver Island is named, are one of the main subdivisions of the Kwakwakaʼwakw peoples.[1]
Their legends tell of their creation by the Great Spirit, while an alternate meaning of their name is “people of the outside.”[2]
They were organized into the Quatsino First Nation as a band government during the process of colonization under the Indian Act.
Their numbers were devastated by epidemics brought in by European sailors.[1]
