Haisla

/ˈhaɪslə/ noun

Definition

A First Nations people indigenous to the British Columbia coast in Canada, or their language.

Etymology

From Haisla self-designation, derived from their language family. The term reflects the indigenous name the Haisla people use for themselves rather than a name imposed by colonizers.

Kelly Says

The Haisla have inhabited the Kitimat area for thousands of years and their language is endangered with fewer than 50 fluent speakers left—preserving indigenous languages is like saving keys to entire worlds of knowledge!
