COMMENT
Pre-contact, Tsilhqot'in sources
indicate that the St'át'imc originally resided in the
now Okanagan Tribe's Similkameen Valley. Dying of disease, and
experiencing poor hunting conditions, the Tsilhqot'in invited
the St'át'imc to move up into their territory, now Lillooet
and Pemberton areas, that they may live more successfully. |
