Bella Bella

Bella Bella is a Heiltsuk Nation town in British Columbia, located on Campbell Island. It is the first stop for Zada on his trip to the province to learn all about the Sasquatch and its mysterious sightings. Zada describes Bella Bella as being a small town with a very strong sense of community, especially since the town is not often visited by foreigners such as himself.
