Etymology

Heiltsuk is the name the people use for themselves in their own language, and as an adjective it means 'relating to the Heiltsuk people, their language, culture, or land'. A helpful way to remember it is like saying 'French' or 'Japanese' to describe a community, so Heiltsuk describes things that belong to that people.
