Many people who others call "Kwakiutl" consider that name a misnomer. They prefer the name Kwakwaka'wakw, which means "Kwak'wala-speaking-peoples". One exception is the Laich-kwil-tach at Campbell River—they are known as the Southern Kwakiutl, and their council is the Kwakiutl District Council.  The Kwakiutl are a Pacific Northwest Coast Indigenous people. Their current population is approximately 5,500.  - Wikipedia
