A #Tofino area #FirstNation wants popular #MackenzieBeach to return to its #Indigenous name: #Tinwis.

In the language of the #Tlaoquiaht Nation, “tin” means “calm” and “wis” means “beach.” Together, they mean “calm waters.”

A change.org #petition calling on the #BritishColumbia #BCNDP government to recognize Tinwis as the official name has gathered more than 1,600 signatures.
