Early in the nineteenth century, the Ahousahts established their main village, Maaqtusiis (Marktosis), on the east side of Flores Island. Their twenty-four reserves, ranging in size from 2 to 116 hectares, make up a total of 565.6 hectares. The Ahousaht are the largest Nuu-chah-nulth tribe on the west coast, with a current population of some 2,000; approximately 800 live within Ahousaht territory.
