[edit] Population

In total there are slightly more than 600 members of the Ucluelet First Nation. The majority of which live "off-reserve."

The on-reserve population of the Ucluelet First Nation is about 200 people on the Ucluelet Indian Reserve No. 1, called Hit-at-soo. There is approximately 400 members living "off-reserve" which could mean they live on other reserves, or towns, or cities that are not within Hit-at-soo itself but still are members of the Ucluelet First Nation despite having left the reserve.

[edit] Chief and Councillors

The Ucluelet First Nation is run by a Band Council, which is currently led by Chief Councillor Violet Mundy.

[edit] Location

The village of Hit-at-soo is roughly a ten minute drive from the township of Ucluelet, and is located approximately fifteen kilometres from the Pacific Rim National Park.
