"Nootka, often referred to as the "Birthplace" of British Columbia, is located at the mouth of Nootka Sound just 74 air miles west of Campbell River. In March 1778, Captain James Cook became the first European to set foot on British Columbian soil when he visited Friendly Cove on Nootka Island. While anchoring, the natives shouted "itchme nutka, itchme nutka", meaning "go around" (to Yuquot) , but Cook misinterpreted their calls, believing the name of the area to be Nootka. Yuquot, also known as Friendly Cove, was the summer home of Chief Maquinna and the Mowachaht/Muchalaht people for millennia, and retains historic significance today as the site of the first contact between Europeans and First Nations people in British Columbia."
