Welcome to ʕaaḥuusʔatḥWelcome to the official website of the ʕaaḥuusʔatḥ Nation. ʕaaḥuusʔatḥ is one of fourteen Nuu-chah-nulth Nations, meaning “our backs against the mountains.” Ahousaht is the English spelling most commonly used in government and historical records. More than 2,400 members belong to the ʕaaḥuusʔatḥ Nation, with families and community connections extending across Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, and beyond. Many members live in Maaqtusiis, a quiet coastal community known for its strong culture, traditions, and connection to the ocean. Visitors can reach Maaqtusiis by water taxi from the Tofino Main Street Dock, a scenic 30–40 minute trip along the west coast. We encourage guests to travel with ʕaaḥuusʔatḥ-owned and operated water taxi services to support local businesses and enjoy an authentic community experience. |
