We see Thoyt’s blatant racism and raise him some kingly greed. But why is this insignificant setting so sought after? As Thoyt, the Delaney family’s lawyer, tells James: “There are only savages at Nootka.” The land is the fulcrum between the warring factions of the Delaney Nootka Trading Company and the seemingly omnipresent, imperialist East India Company. Similarly, the Delaney family and the East India Company wrestle for control of Nootka Sound. The broader war, as it appears on Taboo, is all about trade and land disputes. It’s located between the newly created United States of America and the British empire, which lost control of American colonies a few decades before the show begins. Nootka is a key location in the show’s depiction of the War of 1812. Nootka Sound, at this point, is just a place on a map for characters to point to and yell about when talking to other characters about it. Nootka Sound on TabooĮverything revolves around Nootka Sound in Taboo, although the show hasn’t actually been there yet. Here’s the difference between the fictionalized Nootka Sound and the real crisis that took place there over 200 years ago. But what’s in a Nootka, or more importantly, who was in Nootka and why do people want Nootka so much? The key location in the show, Nootka Sound, is an actual place you can visit near Vancouver, but don’t expect to go there and see Hardy having weird hallucinations in a loin cloth.

The word on everybody’s mind in FX’s new series Taboo is Nootka.
