The Nuu-chah-nulth Living Archive	[from website] The Nuu-chah-nulth Living Archive is a community driven research project intended to stimulate discussion and cultural renewal in partnership with diverse Nuu-chah-nulth community members. We are in the process of researching, locating and properly identifying thousands of Nuu-chah-nulth ancestral treasures, audio recordings, photographs and cultural documents that are currently being held in museums, institutions and private collections all over the world. This is a space to build deeper relationships between these collections and the knowledge held in our local and urban communities. Select material is open to the public but access to the content on the rest of the website requires a login so that material can be shared privately between Nuu-chah-nulth community members.
