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.
