About
The Hupacasath First Nation is a band based in the Alberni Valley on the west coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. It is a member of the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council. The Hupacasath are three distinct tribes: the Muh-uulth-aht, Kleh-koot-aht, and Cuu-ma-as-aht (Ahahswinis). The tribes decided to amalgamate to form Hupacasath prior to the Europeans' arrival as each of the tribes was at war with the Coast Salish people and thought that joining together would make them stronger in their war against the Salish.
The First Nation's traditional territory is about 229,000 ha. and engulfs the whole Alberni Valley. As of June 2021, the Nation had a total of 352 registered members, including 133 residing on their own reserve.
