The village and associated fishing area were used by the Kwicksutaineuk and Mamalilikulla divisions of the Kwakwaka'wakw. During his work allocating lands for native groups, Commissioner Sproat designated the location as a fishing site for the Mamalilikulla in 1879, later designating it Meetup IR No. 2. The site was originally owned by the Kwicksataineuk.<ref>[http://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/names/65362.html BC Names/GeoBC entry "Meetup 2 (Indian reserve)"]</ref>
