We are an Indigenous and community-led initiative, bringing together nuučaan̓uł (nuu-chah-nulth) youth and mentors who want to change the narrative around surfing in nuučaan̓uł territory. Through Nature's ability to foster resilience, empowerment, connection and revival, we will support the youths' personal journeys and build on the power of the healing force of the ocean.
Indigenous youth are our future leaders, and we are committed to supporting their personal journey's of self-determination, and fostering the youths' inherent connection to their lands and waters.
mułaa operates on the unceded, ancestral homelands of the ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ First Nation.

Operating on ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ First Nation Territory, mułaa, acknowledges the culture and connection of the nuučaan̓uł nations to their lands and waters.
nuučaan̓uł loosely translates to “all along the mountains and the sea”, and spans an area that is now known as the southwest coast of Vancouver Island. The nuučaan̓uł are made up of 14 First Nations; Ditidaht, Huu-ay-aht, Hupacasath, Tse-shaht, Uchucklesaht, Ahousaht, Hesquiaht, Tla-o-qui-aht, Toquaht, Yuu-cluth-aht, Ehattesaht, Kyuquot/Cheklesaht, Mowachaht/Muchalaht, and Nuchatlaht.
The nuučaan̓uł have always had a strong connection to the ocean. The ocean was the primary source of food and provided a wide variety of seafood and fish. It also was an important form of travel and the nuučaan̓uł are known widely for their canoe making and journey skills.
