Leel-watr-ool

The Líl̓wat people live in the country of the upper Lillooet and Birkenhead rivers, where mountain valleys lead toward Lillooet Lake. Salmon ascending the Fraser system reach these waters, while forests and high slopes provide game, food plants and medicines. The Líl̓wat are part of the St̓át̓imc peoples, whose homeland extends across the rugged interior valleys of southwestern British Columbia.
