The Sc'ianew First Nation or Beecher Bay First Nation is a First Nations group, governed by a band governmental body of the same name. They are a party involved in the Douglas Treaties and are negotiating a modern treaty as a member of the Te'mexw Treaty Association along with the Malahat, Nanoose, Songhees, and T'Souke Nations. The Sc'ianew First Nation number 261 (as of March 2020).^[2][3]

Sc'ianew lands are located on southern Vancouver Island in southwestern British Columbia, Canada and include Becher Bay, Fraser Island, Lamb Island, Long-neck Island, Twin Island, Village Island, and Whale Island.^[4]

The name "Sc'ianew" (pronounced CHEA-nuh in English) comes from the Klallam word for Becher Bay, "xʷčiyánəxʷ."^[5] It means "the place of the big fish."^{[citation needed]}

The group recognizes four ancestral languages though not all are currently spoken. Historically, the predominant language was Hul’q’umi’num’, the downriver dialect of the Halkomelem Language.^[6]
