Tla-o-qui-aht Tribal Parks

The Tla-o-qui-aht Tribal Parks are an Indigenous-governed network of protected lands and waters on the west coast of Vancouver Island, encompassing the largest intact coastal temperate rainforest on the island around Tofino and Clayoquot Sound. Established in 1984 by the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, the parks protect over 75,000 hectares of critical habitat and operate under traditional Tla-o-qui-aht law and the concept of ʔiisaak (deep respect). Touring cyclists passing through the Tofino area ride through this territory and are invited to take the ʔiisaak Pledge and engage with the Tribal Parks Allies network of local businesses committed to land stewardship.
