  • Hesquiat Peninsula Hesquiat Peninsula Clayoquot Biosphere’S Northen Fringe
    Hesquiat Peninsula Hesquiat Peninsula Clayoquot Biosphere’s Northen Fringe Vancouver Island, BC 91 Hesquiat Peninsula Clayoquot Sound Regional Map 92 Hesquiat Peninsula Hesquiat Peninsula Looking north across the beaches at Escalante and Burdwood Point at the entrance to Nootka Sound. Hesquiat Peninsula - Vancouver Island The Hesquiat Peninsula is a west coast promontory of Vancouver Island and divides Clayoquot and Nootka Sounds. The topography of the peninsula is comprised of a low, flat swampy forest rimmed with a stunning shoreline. The shape of the peninsula is square cut with a long stretch of rocky shoreline running north-south from Burdwood Point, at the entrance to Nootka Sound, to the historic lighthouse at Estevan Point. From Estevan Point the coast turns abruptly 90 degrees west- east across to Smokehouse Bay. At the east end of Smokehouse Bay the shore swings another right angle south-north from Matlahaw Point past Hesquiat village and a series of immense beaches to Boat Basin at the head of Hesquiat Harbour. Much of the land on the Hesquiat Peninsula is now Provincial Park, from Escalante Point all the way around to Hot Springs Cove which is part of Maquinna Marine Park. This region is ancestral home of the Hesquiat First Nation, of the west coast Nuu-chah-nulth people, and there are residents at the tiny outpost of Hesquiat Village. Points of interest along the route include the beaches at Escalante, Estevan Point lighthouse, Hesquiat Village, beaches around Anton’s Spit and Cougar Annie’s Garden in Boat Basin. At the time of writing the Hesquiat trail is one of the least trodden paths along the coast of Vancouver Island, but destined to become one of the most popular.

Through Unity, strong leadership, and based on Traditional Teachings, Values and Practice we provide good housing, employment and opportunities for all. Based on Respect for our Territory, we develop our natural resources on land and sea for the benefit of many generations to come. This Vision Statement was updated at the Community Engagement Meetings in 2014 by Ditidaht members. We have retained this Vision as the foundation of the Ditidaht Community Plan. The goal of this Plan is to define work towards achieving this Vision. Note This Ditidaht Community Plan should not be interpreted as a final or complete statement on Ditidaht rights and title. This is intended to be a working document that will continue to evolve and be updated over time. Minor edits for clarity, March 28, 2018 i Acknowledgements This Ditidaht Community Plan was created by members of the Ditidaht First Nation with the assistance of the Planning Team and everyone who provided input into the Plan. Everyone worked hard to make this a comprehensive document that acknowledges the past, understands the present, and looks to the future for our community. It could not have been done without membership’s ideas and support. Paul Sieber worked especially hard over the 3 years of the Plan to bring it to reality. by Bobby Durocher The design is a Thunderbird with its wings wrapped around the earth.
