HISTORY OF THE PUNTLEDGE INDIAN RESERVE

Although the Comox People integrated with the Pentlatch People in the early 1860s, the Pentlatch People had been living on this site for numerous years and the Puntledge Indian Reserve #2 was officially created in 1876 by the government and comprised of 180 acres of land.

The reserve was described as, “most part heavily wooded but containing a small extent of open land and having good soil, bordered by the Puntledge River and the Tsolum River.” At the time, in 1876, the total population of the Pentlatch People was 21, comprising of 10 men, 8 women and only 3 female children.

The Puntledge Reserve was once inhabited by many Pentlatch People but invasions by war parties and diseases reduced the Pentlatch People to extinction. Chief Joe Nim Nim, the last Pentlatch person, died in 1940.
