Jewitt, Only Survivor of the Crew of the Ship Boston, during a Captivity of Nearly Three Years among the Savages of Nootka Sound: With an Account of the Manners, Mode of Living, and Religious Opinions of the Natives. This 1815 book is titled Narrative of the Adventures and Sufferings of John R. Jewitt wrote a classic captivity narrative about his nearly 3 years with the Nuu-chah-nulth and his reluctant assimilation to their society. He and his men killed the captain and all the crew but two, whom they kept as slaves. Ī few years later, Maquinna and his warriors captured the American trading ship Boston in March 1803. Negotiations to settle the dispute were handled under the aegis and hospitality of Maquinna, a powerful chief of the Mowachaht Nuu-chah-nulth. It was settled under the Nootka Convention, in which Spain agreed to abandon its exclusive claims to the North Pacific coast. Tensions flared up between Spain and Great Britain over control of Nootka Sound, which led to a bitter international dispute around 1790 known as the Nootka Crisis. The Nuu-chah-nulth were among the first Pacific peoples north of California to encounter Europeans, who sailed into their area for trade, particularly the Maritime fur trade. The term was also applied to the indigenous inhabitants of the area. Cook interpreted this as the First Nation's name for the inlet, now called Nootka Sound. When James Cook first encountered the villagers at Yuquot in 1778, they directed him to "come around" (Nuu-chah-nulth nuutkaa is "to circle around") with his ship to the harbour.

The Nuu-chah-nulth are related to the Kwakwaka'wakw, the Haisla, and the Ditidaht First Nation. In precontact and early post-contact times, the number of tribes was much greater, but the smallpox epidemics and other consequences of settler colonization resulted in the disappearance of some groups and the absorption of others into neighbouring groups. The term Nuu-chah-nulth is used to describe fifteen related tribes whose traditional home is on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

The Nootka were among the first people on the Pacific coast north of California to come into contact with Europeans. The Nootka, and other Pacific Northwest cultures, were famous for their potlatch ceremonies, in which the host would bestow very generous gifts on guests. They are related to the Chinook and Kwakiutl peoples, and the Nootka language is part of the Wakashan group of languages.
The Nootka or Nuu-Chah-Nulth people are a First Nations group whose traditional home is in the Pacific Northwest, on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
