From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sliammon First Nation or Tla A' min First Nation is a First Nations government located on the upper Sunshine Coast in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. The Sliammon, whose proper name in the Comox language is Tla A'min, are part of, with their neighbours the Klahoose, Homalco, whose territory is on the adjoining areas of the Mainland, and the K'omoks who reside around the town of Campbell River on Vancouver Island, the larger grouping of the Comox people, which is a subgroup of the Coast Salish. Their ancestral tongue is the Comox language. The Sliammon First Nation is very close to their neighbors the Klahoose and Homalco, and it is said that they were all once one. The Sliammon First Nation is a middle sized nation consisting of just over 1000 band members.
