Though one source says the name derives from a canoe early miners found at the location, the original version of the name in French was La Rivière du Canot, so named because it was here that explorer Simon Fraser cached his canoe and continued his journey southward down the river on foot. His crew named the location Le Canot. [2]
Canoe Creek is the namesake of three of the Indian reserves of the Canoe Creek Band/Dog Creek Indian Band:
Ruby Creek is a locality on the Fraser River in the District of Kent, British Columbia, Canada, in the Upper Fraser Valley region, located on BC Highway 7 and the mainline of the Canadian Pacific Railway, near the confluence of Ruby Creek with the Fraser, northeast of Sea Bird Island.

The Gwa'sala-Nakwaxda'xw Nations are an amalgamation of two Kwakwaka'wakw peoples in a band government based on northern Vancouver Island in British Columbia, whose main reserve community is near the town of Port Hardy in the Queen Charlotte Strait region of the Central Coast region of British Columbia, Canada. In the 1960s the Gwa'sala (Gwaʼsa̱la), the 'Nakwaxda'xw (ʼNakʼwaxdaʼx̱w) and the Kwakiutl peoples were amalgamated. Eventually the Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw Nations and the Kwakiutl First Nation separated into the two groups that are recognized by the federal government to this day. Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw Nations were forcibly relocated from their homelands to a location near Port Hardy.
