The Kwakwaka wakw are an Indigenous group of First Nations, numbering about 5,500, who live in British Columbia on northern Vancouver Island and the the adjoining mainland and islands. Kwakwaka'wakw translates as "Those who speak Kwak wala", describing the collective nations within the area that speak the language. However, even though the people share a common language, each nation considers itself as a separate independent nation. Today the Kwakwaka wakw are organized politically into 13 band governments. Their language, now spoken by less than 5% of the population, is Kwak wala. The Kwakwaka wakw are known for their history, culture and art. In recent years, the Kwakwaka wakw have been active on the revitalization of their culture and language. Kwakwaka wakw society was highly stratified, with three main classes, determined by heredity: nobles, commoners, and slaves. Their economy was based primarily on fishing, with the men also engaging in some hunting, and the women gathering wild fruits and berries. Ornate weaving and woodwork were important crafts, and wealth, defined by slaves and material goods, was prominently displayed and traded at potlatch ceremonies.
