Adam River
The Adam River is a river on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, flowing north into the Johnstone Strait northwest of the community of Sayward. The Adam's main tributary is the Eve River.〔(BC Names/GeoBC entry "Eve River" )〕 The Kwak'wala name for the river is ''He-la-de'', meaning "land of plenty", a reference to abundant berries, birds, game and salmon.〔(BC Names/GeoBC entry "Adam River" )〕 That name is reflected in that of Haylahte Indian Reserve No. 3, which is on the east bank of the Adam's mouth.〔(Haylahte 3 (Indian reserve)" )〕 The former Matilpi village of Klaywatse was located on an island in the river's estuary.〔(BC Names/GeoBC entry "Klaywatse (Former First Nation Village)" )〕 ==See also==
