    Nicola-Similkameen

    The Nicola-Similkameen were a Dene people living in the Nicola and Similkameen river valleys of south-central British Columbia (and, marginally, north-central Washington state). One theory about Nicola-Similkameen settlement in this area suggests they originated from a Tsilhqot'in war party that stayed and intermarried with the Nlaka'pamux and Okanagan Interior Salish in the mid-1700s. Another suggests that the Nicola-Similkameen had a long history in this area, having moved from a more northerly Dene homeland many hundreds of years earlier, but archaeological data have not supported this theory.
