An oral tradition states that before the time of the great flood, the original Heiltsuk ancestors were set down by the Creator in the territory now referred to as the 'Central Coast of British Columbia'.

Traditionally the Heiltsuk people lived in many villages and seasonal camp locations throughout their territory. The Heiltsuk First Nation has a long history of occupation and use of the Koeye.

The Koeye is pronounced "Kway" and means "bird sitting on the water" in the native interpretation of the Heiltsuk and Oweekeno people. This special place is considered a centre of Heiltsuk energy.
