Coldwater Indian Band
We are Interior Salish people who belong to the Nlaka’pamux Nation. We are connected to other Nlaka’pamux communities through shared values, language and ancestry. Locally, our people are known as C’eletkwmx, and our regional affiliation is with the Scw’exmx, the “People of the Creeks.”
As a member of the Nlaka’pamux Nation, we have connections to the entire Nlaka’pamux territory, which spans a large region in the south central interior of British Columbia.
This territory stretches from the Fraser Canyon and Princeton in the south to Cache Creek and Kamloops in the north.
It borders the territory of the Okanagan, Sylix, and Secwepemc peoples. We have a special connection to the Coldwater watershed and the cultural resources it has provided to our people for millennia.
