This is a list of Nuxalk villages. By 1953 there were only two bodies of Nuxalk left: The Kimsquit, on Dean Inlet; and the Bella Coola, at the mouth of Bella Coola River. Older writers speak of the Nuhalk, which was the name of the Bella Coola Valley; Talyumc, whose village at the head of South Bentinck Arm was abandoned about 1933; and the Noothlakamish on North Bentinck Arm, reported by Tolmie, and by Dawson in 1884. ==Villages== (as given by McIlwraith, cited by John Swanton) Modern Nuxalk language orthography is in brackets, as is the meaning of the name. *Aimats, north of Ahutskwakstl near the Peisela River (Piisla). *Aketi, on the south side of the Dean River about 1 mile from the sea. *Anutlitlk, near the mouth of Dean River, still occupied. *Anutskwakstl, an eastern extension of Tlokotl. *Aseik, (Asiiqw - head of channel) on a stream flowing into a bay at the southwest end of South Bentinck Arm. *Asenane, (Asanani) on the shore of a bay on the south side of the Bella Coola River. *Asktlta, at Salmon House on the Upper Dean River. *Atlklaktl, near the south bank of the Peisela River about ¼-mile from the sea. *Ikwink, on the Dean River 28 miles from the sea. *Kadis, on the east side of South Bentinck Arm, about ¼-mile from the Noieck River. *Kameik, on the west bank of the Necleetsconnay River about ¾-mile from the sea. *Kantkilsk, (Qnklst - rocky-below / island) on the east side of South Bentinck Arm "slightly north of Bensins Island, which is opposite the hot springs on the west side of the fjord." *Koapk, on the east side of the mouth of a creek entering the head of South Bentinck Arm from the south. *Komkutis, (Q'umk'uts) the upper (eastern) continuation of Stskeitl. *Kwiliutl, on the north side of the Atnarko a few hundred yards above the forks. *Nuekmak, near some stagnant pools on the north side of Bella Coola River a short distance above Snoönikwilk. *Nuhwilst, on the shore of Dean Channel six miles from Satsk. *Nuiku, on a raised mound on South Bentinck Arm south of the mouth of the Noieck River. *Nukaakmats, on the north shore of the Bella Coola River about a mile above Tsilkt. *Nukits, (Nukits' - twisted water) on the south side of the Bella Coola River 11¼ miles from the sea, upper end of site of the modern village of Hagensborg. *Nuskapts, on the south bank of the Dean River about 25 miles from the sea. *Nuskek, on the shore of North Bentinck east of the creek that flows into it at Green Bay. *Nuskelst, on the north side of the Bella Coola River opposite the mountain of the same name. *Nutal, on the bank of the Dean River at the bottom of the canyon. *Nutltleik, (Nutl'lhiixw - dry headwaters, modern day Burnt Bridge) 200 yards from the Bella Coola River on a creek flowing in from the north and about 31 miles from the sea. *Nutskwatlt, on the south side of the Dean River about 1¼-miles from the sea. *Okmikimik, at the present village of Hagensborg 11 miles from the sea. *Ososkpimk, on the north shore of the Bella Coola River about ½-mile above Aimats. *Satsk, at the mouth of the Kimsquit River. *Senktl, on the south side of the Bella Coola River opposite Tciktciktelpats. *Setlia, on the east side of South Bentinck Arm about ¼-mile from its junction with North Bentinck. *Siwalos, (Siwalusim - where the canoes were left) on the north side of the Dean River about 85 miles from the sea, where the trail to the Interior left the river valley. *Skomeltl, on the south side of the Bella Coola River about 3 miles from the sea. *Snoönikwilk, on a curving promontory on the south bank of the Bella Coola River about 4 miles from the sea. *Snutele, (Snut'li - place of dog salmon) on the south bank of the Bella Coola River above Nukaakmats. *Snutlelelatl, on the north side of the Atnarko River about 10 miles from the forks. *Stskeitl, on the south bank of the Bella Coola River about ¼-mile from the sea. *Stuik (Stuic)(Stuie, on the point between the Atnarko and Whitewater (Talchako) Rivers, which join to form the Bella Coola. *Talio, (Talyuu) on the west side of the mouth of the river, last location, which was frequently changed. *Tasaltlimk, on the shore of North Bentinck Arm west and north of the mouth of the Necleetsconnay. *Tciktciktelpats, some distance from the north bank of the Bella Coola River, the river course having changed. *Tlokotl, above Atlkaktl on the Peisela River. *Tsaotltmem, on the east side of South Bentinck Arm about 4 miles from Kankilst. *Tsilkt, on the north shore of the Bella Coola River above Tsomootl. *Tsomootl, (Tsumuulh - Sound of water over a rock) the upper continuation of Skomeltl.
