Studying place names can provide a linguistic coding of our cultural heritage. The history contained in these names can be discovered by exploring different parts of the words that make up the name. These can be categorized into semantic groups based on their word morphology. For example, our hul’q’umi’num’ place names are derived from the names of animals, plants, human body parts, human activities, natural features, directions or locations. Other names give a description of the place based on the way it was used, an event that happened there, or the name of a person who lived at that place.

Whenever possible, we have included information such as word morphology and name basis for the places on this website. You can find this information in the table below and also on the individual pages for each place.
