Yunesit'in

Yuneŝit'in means "people of the south" in the Tsilhqot'in language. Their country lies among the rivers and uplands of the Chilcotin, where salmon returning from the Pacific sustained the people of the interior. Fish dried in the wind could be stored for the seasons ahead and carried along trade routes. The local name Gex Nats'enaghinlht'i recalls a place where snowshoe hares were hunted.
