| | Nootka Indians |
 | | The name Nootka was first applied as a tribal name by the explorer Captain James Cook, who mistakenly thought that since they were in Nootka Sound, that they were the "Nootka." Today, however, the term "Nootka" refers to all speakers of the Wakashan language, including the Nootkan, Nitinat, and Makah tribes. |
 | | The Nootka stretched their civilization all along the west coast (indicated by the letter "K" and the shaded area surrounding it). |
 | | For the Nootka, the meeting of Pérez was too brief to be enjoyed, and it wasn't until March 30, 1778, that the Nootka saw British explorers, with the arrival of 50 year-old English navigator, Captain James Cook. |
