The K’ómoks or K'omoks, usually known in English as the Comox people, are an indigenous group of Coast Salishan-speaking people in Comox, British Columbia and in Toba Inlet and the Malaspina Peninsula areas of the British Columbia mainland across Georgia Strait. They historically spoke the Komox language (Comox-Sliammon), and were divided in two main dialect and tribal groupings, which are known by academics as Island Comox and Mainland Comox. * The Sliammon (Tla'amin or ɬaʔəmen) * The Klahoose (ƛohos means "sculpin fish") * The Homalco (Xwemalhkwu or Xoχmaɬku)

  • Mit K'ómoks oder K'omoks, im Englischen als Comox bekannt, wird einerseits die kulturell-sprachlich eng verwandte Stammesgruppe auf Vancouver Island und auf der östlichen Seite der Strait of Georgia der Salish-Sprachgruppe in British Columbia in Kanada bezeichnet, sie zählten zusammen mit den benachbarten Sechelt (Shishalh) zu den Northern Georgia Strait Coast Salish der Nördlichen Küsten-Salish entlang der Pazifikküste im Nordwesten und gehören somit zum Kulturareal der Pazifischen Nordwestküste. Andererseits bezeichnet K’ómoks (Comox) oder K’ómoks eine der kanadischen First Nations in British Columbia, die offiziell K'ómoks First Nation heißt. Der Name „Comox“ ist der Name der heutigen Stadt Comox und die anglisierte Form von K’ómoks, der wiederum vom Kwak'wala-Begriff kw'umuxws für „Land des Überflusses, der Fülle oder des Reichtums“ abstammt. Dieser Artikel möchte einen Überblick über den kulturellen Hintergrund bzw. Verwandtschaft aller indigenen Stämme der „K'ómoks / K'omoks“ informieren – nähere Detailauskünfte zu den einzelnen Stämmen bzw. First Nations sind unter den zugehörigen jeweiligen Artikeln nachzulesen. (de)
  • The K’ómoks or K'omoks, usually known in English as the Comox people, are an indigenous group of Coast Salishan-speaking people in Comox, British Columbia and in Toba Inlet and the Malaspina Peninsula areas of the British Columbia mainland across Georgia Strait. They historically spoke the Komox language (Comox-Sliammon), and were divided in two main dialect and tribal groupings, which are known by academics as Island Comox and Mainland Comox. The Island Comox of Vancouver Island now centered in the area of Courtenay-Comox, were historically the greatest and most powerful K’ómoks group; both - K’ómoks together with the neighboring Pentlatch (Puntletch / Puntledge) - were referring in their original language to their cultural collective as Sathloot, known to the Mainland Comox as the θaɬaθtuxʷ. After being conquered and politically dominated by southward moving warring Laich-kwil-tach (Ligwiłda'xw) (sometimes known as ″Southern Kwakiutl″) they refer today in their adopted Lik'wala dialect of Kwak'wala to themselves as K’ómoks (Kwak'wala-name: kw’umuxws - ″plentiful″). Today the Island Comox have close political and family ties to the Weiwaikum (Wiwēkam) of the Campbell River Band located in and around the city of Campbell River (Wiwek̓a̱m) on the east coast of Vancouver Island, to the Weiwaikai (Wēqay̓i-Wiwēqay̓i) of the Cape Mudge Indian Band (We Wai Kai Nation) on Quadra Island, and to the Walitsima / Walitsum Band of Salmon River (also called Hahamatses or Salmon River Band), who now occupy territories that were formerly Sathloot (K’ómoks and Pentlatch). Many of these Laich-kwil-tach Bands are of Sathloot descent (sometimes the Walitsima / Walitsum Band are considered ethnically K’ómoks, which only have adopted the culture and language of Laich-kwil-tach). Today the original languages of both Sathloot groups are extinct: the Island Comox dialect or Qʼómox̣ʷs (Salhulhtxw / Saɬuɬtxʷ) and the Puntletch / Puntledge (Pənƛ̕áč) language are dropped in favor for the Lik'wala dialect and later for English. Those across the strait are known by academics as the Mainland Comox and are formed today of three groups (which were once one tribe sharing neighboring territories and fishing sides together): * The Sliammon (Tla'amin or ɬaʔəmen) * The Klahoose (ƛohos means "sculpin fish") * The Homalco (Xwemalhkwu or Xoχmaɬku) (en)
