Name origin
"Noohalk" is an older transliteration of the local native name for the valley and the river,[2] which has been adopted as the modern name of that people, the Nuxalk, who once had villages all through the adjoining inlets and islands of North and South Bentinck Arms, Dean Channel, Burke Channel and on King Island.[3]
