Those at the town of Comox are known as the Island Comox, those across the strait are known as the Mainland Comox and are formed of two groups, the Sliammon and the Klahoose. They historically spoke the Komox language, which is divided into two dialects, Island Comox and Mainland Comox. The Island Comox have close ties to the Lekwildok or Southern Kwakiutl of Campbell River and Quadra Island...... full article at Wikipedia
