About the Kitasoo Xai’xais Nation
In the 1860s, the Kitasoo and the Xai’xais people came together to create the united Kitasoo Xai’xais Nation, centred in present-day Klemtu, on the east side of Swindle Island on the Central Coast.
The Kitasoo Xai’xais Nation is committed to protecting, managing and enhancing the cultural and natural resources throughout the territory.
