The village and associated fishing area were used by the [Kwicksutaineuk](/source/Kwicksutaineuk) and [Mamalilikulla](/source/Mamalilikala) divisions of the [Kwakwaka'wakw](/source/Kwakwaka'wakw).  During his work allocating lands for native groups, [Commissioner Sproat](/source/Gilbert_M._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>
