Our purpose is to create land and water-based educational opportunities for Musgamakw Dzawada̱’enux̱w citizens.

A̱ka̱la Society is an outdoor education non-profit operated by a group of Musgamagw Dzawada̱’enux̱w women: Julia McIntyre-Smith, Lindsey Willie, Jessica Key, Sherry Moon, Alana Coon, Dawn Nicolson, and Kristine Speier.

The Musgamagw Dzawada’enuxw are a longstanding traditional alliance between the four tribes: Gwawa’enuxw, Kwickwasut’inuxw, Haxwa’mis, and Dzawada̱’enux̱w.
