Mahatta River

MAHATTA RIVER was a remote LOGGING camp on the south side of QUATSINO SOUND, 38 km southwest of PORT HARDY on VANCOUVER ISLAND. Established on an ancient Koskimo (KWAKWAKA'WAKW) summer village site, it was dismantled in the late 1980s after a road was finally punched in from PORT ALICE. The name is a Kwakwala word that means "having sockeye salmon."
