Today my wife, dog and I were guided through one of the sacred areas of the Nuxhalk. We started with the history and trauma of the tribe and their mythology. We then visited the sites of the petroglyphs and learned many of be stories behind them. This was all in the beautiful forested surroundings with a creek babbling in the background. Our guide, Nuhawhawta, was extremely knowledgeable and shared his passion in both word and song.

I went on the guided tour to the petroglyphs. My guide was Zack. It was an amazing morning, Zack explained the different stone carvings and what every detail meant in the history and culture of the Nuxalk people. And linking it all from thousands of years back up to current time. Extremely enlightening and fascinating !! I can highly recommend it !!

I booked three experiences with Copper Sun: the petroglyphs, totem tour and a 2 hour raft and I could not recommend them enough! Every guide and staff member I met was extremely kind and knowledgeable. I feel so grateful to have been welcomed and shown around Nuxalk territory by members of the community that have stewarded the land since time immemorial. Thank you wholeheartedly for sharing your smayusta with me 🧡 This visit to Bella Coola would not have been the same without the wonderful people at Copper Sun. I recommend everyone to book a tour with them and buy some art from the gallery. I cannot wait to come back and visit this beautiful Nuxalk territory!

This tour was outstanding. Stunning walk to the ancient petroglyphs which are thousands of years old. Our guide, Zach, had fascinating interpretations of the many petroglyphs. My wife, Chris, and I greatly enjoyed the beauty of the area, the incredibly wild creek a hundred feet below us and the creative heart work from so long ago. We highly recommend this experience.
