Ha’mała̱l ‘lilḵwatłe’ - Those who follow the Bighouse

Our Organization

We are gathering our strength in order to heal from the impacts of colonization on our land, culture and governance. Our guiding principles are Namwayut (we are all one) and Maya'xa̱la (respect), ga̱'wala (helping) and łaxwe'gila (gaining strength).
The gukwdzi (Big house) is our governance house where our laws are upheld, families are celebrated and sacred responsibilities live. For too long our laws, culture and governance have been ignored and violated. We are seeking solutions, healing together and asserting our rights, title and responsibilities for our lands, waters and spirit.
