The Nuu-chah-nulth (; Nuu-chah-nulth: ), also formerly referred to as the Nootka, Nutka, Aht, Nuuchahnulth, Tahkaht, are one of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast in Canada. The term Nuu-chah-nulth is used to describe fifteen related tribes whose traditional home is on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
In precontact and early post-contact times, the number of tribes was much greater, but smallpox and other consequences of contact resulted in the disappearance of some groups and the absorption of others into neighbouring groups. The Nuu-chah-nulth are related to the Kwakwaka'wakw, the Haisla, and the Nitinaht. The Nuu-chah-nulth language is part of the Wakashan language group. The Makah people in northwest Washington were historically also Wakashan speakers.
The Nuu-chah-nulth people are a group of First Nations peoples living on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
