The Nuxalk people (; pronounced ), also referred to as the Bella Coola, Bellacoola or Bilchula, are an Indigenous First Nation of the Pacific Northwest Coast, centred in the area in and around Bella Coola, British Columbia within their wider traditional territory: Kulhulmcilh. They speak the Nuxalk language (). Their on-reserve tribal government is the Nuxalk Nation.
==Name and tribes/groups== The name "Bella Coola", often used in academic writing, is not preferred by the Nuxalk; it is a derivation of the neighbouring Wakashan-speaking coastal Heiltsuk people's name for the Nuxalk as bəlxwəlá or bḷ́xʷlá, meaning "stranger" (rendered plxwla in Nuxalk orthography). Within the Nuxalk language, "" is the term for the people, and "" is the term for the language, and these terms are increasingly being used in English locally.
