We refer to ourselves as both the Dzawada’enuxw and the Musgamakw Dzawada’enuxw. The outside world sees us as four tribes, however, we have always been one people. We know this from our origin stories, co-habitation, and respectful shared resource use. The Dzawada’enuxw First Nation are members of the Kwakwaka’wakw group of nations. The Kwakwaka’wakw people occupy the lower central region of the Pacific Northwest Coast. We are an isolated community with travel in and out by only seaplane or boat.
