Kulleet Bay is the anglicized form of k'elits', the Hul'qumi'num name for this area (meaning sheltered area or protected bay). Kulleet Bay is sometimes referred to as Chemainus Bay. Located just south of Yellow Point, this was an important area for the Chemainus; it was not only a protected natural harbour but also was very rich in marine resources such as shellfish and (in season) herring. The permanent village here, named shts'emines, is the origin of the English name Chemainus.
