Bella Coola / Q'umk'uts
Q'umk'uts - "Bella Coola" it is a derivation of the neighbouring Wakashan-speaking coastal Heiltsuk people's name for the Nuxalk as bəlxwəlá or bḷ́xʷlá, meaning "stranger". The Nuxalk endonym for the local region is "Nuxalk", and the endonym for the specific village site of Bella Coola is "Q'umk'uts".

The Bella Coola Farmers’ Market, nestled between the majestic coast mountains, is tucked in and around a Quonset hut on the Lobelco Fairgrounds. Every Sunday, vendors display freshly harvested vegetables and fruits. As the season progresses, you can find everything from cherries, peas, and greens to beans, potatoes, beets and winter squash. There is also plenty of locally roasted coffee, sweet local honey, delicious artisan breads and baked goods to savour. Live music, an eclectic mix of local art and crafts, and a food truck round out your experience at this small but unique market.
