The Bella
Coola are a Coast Salish tribe located in the
middle of the coastal area of British Columbia
around south Beninck Arm, dean Inlet and the
Bella Coola River, Their population in 1902 was
about 311 had was in all likelihood decimated by
European diseases. Their man source of food was
the Salmon which flooded the rivers and the
streams several times a year as the various
different types of the fish returned to spawn
after 4 years or growth. They relied upon the
cedar tree for shelter - their long houses,
transportation - their large cedar canoes,
clothing, the cedar bark was used for hats and
capes and fuel - for their fire and cooking.
