		Bella Coola or Nuxalk territory is located north of the Kwakwaka'wakw region and borders the east side of the Bella Bella an Oowekeeno territory.
		The Bella Coola language is isolated geographically from the rest of the Salish language, with the Bella Coola dialect being the most divergent within the family (Thompson and Kinkade, 1990:33).
		To the north, west and south of the Bella Coola are speakers of the Wakashan language, and to the east the people speak Athapaskan (Kennedy and Bouchard, 1990:323).

		He returned to Europe, accompanied by eight members of the Bella Coola Indian band, who toured the continent staging their ancestral dances in front of European royalty staying in Europe for two years.
		And during long winter evenings, when talk is centered on hunting stories (Bella Coola still is home to some of the largest grizzly bears in North America, and a large colony of fl bears, wolves and Bighorn Sheep) and the latest political developments in Victoria, B.C., the "old country" is fondly woven into the stories.

	The Nuxalk Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Nuxalk is spoken at Bella Coola, on the coast of the mainland, and in the surrounding region.
		The name currently used by the Nuxalk Nation and for the language is an anglicization of the word /nuxalk/ "Bella Coola Valley".
		Although originally restricted to the people of the Bella Coola Valley, the derivative term /nuxalkmx/ "people of the Bella Coola Valley" has been extended to all Nuxalk people since the consolidation of the Nuxalk people at Bella Coola village in the 1920s.

	Bigfoot: Tales of the Bella Coola Boqs...
		The Bella Coola Indians of British Columbia describe the boq much the same as the sasquatch in that it somewhat resembles a man, its hands especially and the region around the eyes being distinctly human.
		Not many years ago a certain Bella Coola man named Qaklis was camped with his wife and child in the Bay of the Thousand Islands, Altukwlaksos, which is about two miles above Namu, the latter being one of the haunts of the boqs.
		Looking up he saw that the mountains were higher than usual and according to Bella Coola belief the boqs had by their supernatural power raised the whole area so that the water had been almost entirely drained away.

	Reduplication in Bella Coola (Abstract) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		For example, Bella Coola, a Salish language, has been proposed to have no syllables at all (Newman 1947), or to allow any obstruent to constitute a syllable nucleus (Hoard 1978).
		Reduplication is of interest to phonologists because it identifies a string of segments that is not identical to a preexisting morpheme.
		Reduplication in Bella Coola thus cannot be explained without reference to gestural coordination, a fact that provides further evidence for the relevance of gestural coordination in phonological representation.

	Reduplication cannot be explained without reference to gestural coordination
		Using articulatory gestures as the basic unit of analysis (following Browman and Goldstein 1992), I argue in this paper that reduplication in Bella Coola is best analyzed as the copying of a contiguous sequence of overlapping gestures.
		It follows that Bella Coola reduplication requires reference to a level of representation below the segment, namely, gestures and their timing relations.

		Davis said Bella Coola is an oral language only -- meaning that even the Indians who speak the language wouldn't be able to read Bella Coola words on paper.
