Ha-Shilth-Sa is a Nuu-chah-nulth phrase meaning "Interesting News." Published by the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Tribal Council, a non-profit society serving members of the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations located along the west coast of Vancouver Island, Ha-Shilth-Sa describes itself as Canada’s oldest First Nations newspaper – it began publishing in 1974. Ha-Shilth-Sa reports on the activities and initiatives of the Nuu-chah-nulth peoples, and provides a First Nations’ perspective on news from Vancouver Island, around the province and across Canada. Its coverage includes stories on health and well-being, environmental issues, education, culture, crime and justice, reconciliation, infrastructure, sports and more. Ha-Shilth-Sa is distributed twice a month in print and its reporting is also shared online, along with breaking news, career and training opportunities, event listings and multimedia content. Hard copies are available for free for members of Nuu-chah-nulth nations and paid subscriptions are also available for others.
