Gwayasdums is a village of the Kwakwaka'wakw peoples on the west side of Gilford Island in the Johnstone Strait region of the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada.
[1] The village, located on Retreat Pass, is on Gwayasdums Indian Reserve No.
Gwayasdums, which today has about 70 residents, is the ancestral home of the Kwikwasut’inuxw, though it has been used by many other Kwakwaka'wakw groups over time.
The village was destroyed by the Nuxalk in 1856, possibly in relation to a famine at Bella Coola resulting from the closing of Fort McLoughlin.
In the 1890s the Kwikwasut'inuxw began to return though joint occupation and use continued into the 20th Century.
