Historical Kingcome Inlet is an isolated fjord set against the breathtaking backdrop of great towering mountains, carved into the Coast Mountain Range of mainland British Columbia by the glaciers of the last ice age. The community of Kingcome Inlet is located at the head of the inlet, and two miles up the Kingcome River is the Tsawataineuk First Nation village of Kingcome. The Tsawataineuk (pronounced 'tsa-wa-tay-nook') belong to the Kwakiutl Indian group. Economic activities in the Kingcome Inlet area include commercial logging, fishing, and silviculture.
