The t̓uk̓ʷaaʔatḥ are the people of Toquaht Bay, Mayne Bay and western Barkley Sound, and are one of the Nuu-chah-nulth Nations who have lived along Vancouver Island’s west coast for over 10,000 years.
Toquaht Nation’s governance structure is a unique blend of hereditary and elected leaders, referred to as a “hybrid” governance structure. Toquaht Nation’s governance is based on three pillars: the People’s Assembly, Council, and the Executive Branch of Council (the Executive).
Toquaht Nation is proud to share the 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, presented to citizens at the 2025 Spring People’s Assembly and adopted to honour and uphold our values from 2025-2030.
Interested in hearing updates about Toquaht Nation Governments’ plans, governance, events, and community? Our quarterly newsletter is a great resource for information.
That all comes through cultural revival, getting back to your land. That is how I see our vision: to bring people home and live again as once we had.
