m’i nuw’ilum ’i’ ta’ult tthu hul’q’umi’num’!
Come on in and learn some Hul’q’umi’num’!

Welcome to the xutsten’s tthu s-hwulmuhwa’lh tumuhw, the Hul’q’umi’num’ placenames website, featuring placenames from the Hul’qumi’num’ homeland.

The hwuhwilmuhw (Hul’q’umi’num’ people) have been naming spaces since our first ancestors fell from the sky. These names are unique to our homeland and reflect our culture, history, and continued presence here.

We invite you to explore the place names of the Hul’q’umi’num’ homeland with us!

On this website you can explore places by:

Table and Index that categorize and sort our places by linguistic and geographical parameters
Interactive Map showing the location of the places and where we have travelled
Stories from our elders and our experiences in the places today
Projects about our connections to places
