History
The Boundary Country was part of the traditional territory of the Sinixt, a First Nations people of the Interior Salish language group (also known as "the Lake" or "the Lakes" Indians). They are closely related to the neighbouring Okanagan and Colville peoples, and the Okanagan also consider the Boundary Country, as well as all lands claimed by the Sinixt, to be part of their own traditional territory. Declared "extinct" as a band by the government of Canada during the early 20th century, some Sinixt families still reside in neighbouring Washington.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
—Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
