Wei Wai Kum, formerly the Campbell River Indian Band, is in Stage 5 of the BC Treaty Process. Between 2014 and 2024, Wei Wai Kum and Kwiakah collaborated on treaty negotiations. Previously, Wei Wai Kum, Kwiakah, and We Wai Kai were all part of the Ligʷiłdaxʷ Treaty Society. However, in May 2024, Wei Wai Kum decided to pursue its goals independently as a separate Nation.

The primary residential community of Wei Wai Kum is located in Campbell River. There are several remote reserves within the Ligʷiłdaxʷ territory for the Wei Wai Kum Nation. Currently, Wei Wai Kum has over 900 members.

The community, Elected Chief and Council, and advisors guide our Treaty Team and objectives to:

Recognize and protect aboriginal rights and title
Return lands to the Nations
Recognize Wei Wai Kum governance and jurisdiction
Provide a solid foundation, land base, and economic base that provide a better future for our members

Wei Wai Kum is one of several First Nations that comprise the Liǧʷiłdax̌ʷ Nation. Collectively, our unceded territory extends from the northern end of Johnstone Strait to Qualicum River and includes the channels, rivers, fiords, islands and mountains, and resources between these two places. Wei Wai Kum people have long cared for and protected these lands and waters and hold them close to who we are as a people. We continue to honour our relationship with our lands and waters and continue to work as respectful stewards to ensure the wellbeing of our territory and all the life that it sustains.
