Welcome to the Hailika'as Heiltsuk Health Centre Society
The Heiltsuk people have lived in their lands, on what has become the Central Coast of British Columbia, since time immemorial.
Formerly known as the Bella Bella Indians, the Heiltsuk speak Hailhzaqvla, the Heiltsuk language. It is considered a separate language
but is part of what linguists call the Wakashan Language Family.
