The area where he is fishing is at Scet' 'Six mile Bridge River', just below the first fish ladder.

"Since time immemorial the St'át'imc have occupied a traditional territory of some 11,000 square miles in the interior of BC extending from Pavilion in the north to Port Douglas in the south, from the Coast Mountains to the Fraser River at Lillooet."

We are also mistakenly known as the "Lillooet Tribe". Our language is a member of the Interior Salish Language Family.

In recent history the traditional culture of the St'át'imc has faced great challenges. As testament to the strength of St'át'imc Culture and our people, our culture survived these challenges and a renewal of our rich language and heritage is well underway.
