Kʼómoks First Nation

Kʼómoks First Nation (KFN) is a band government of the Kʼómoks people of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Though the KFN is generally considered a Cost Salish group, there has been strong Kwakwaka'wakw influence, especially since the Laich-kwil-tach expansion and the amalgamation of the Hahamatsees/Walitsma tribe into the band in 1940. Many members of KFN maintain strong bonds with the Wei Wai Kai and Wei Wai Kum.

KFN consists of historically they were a Coast Salish people since integrated into Kwakwakaʼwakw society. Originally part of the Laich-kwil-tach Council of Chiefs, which is a treaty society, they are now negotiating independently in the BC Treaty Process. They remain a member government of the Kwakiutl District Council (a tribal council).
