We made Lil’wat First Nation embroidered patch

Every tribe member knows the Lil’wat first nation history but a very few of them know that during the era of 1700-1800 the ancestors of this tribe used to live at Pemberton Meadows that is some 20 miles away from Lillooet River (British Columbia – province of Canada). It was the same time when the Oblate Fathers convinced the tribe’s ancestors to move to a mission at Owl Creek and this location is a few miles distant from the current location of Mount Currie where the tribe is currently located.

History of Lil’wat name

During the Gold digging era of 1858 huge masses of miners came to the Lillooet River from Harrison Lake for an easy access to the Fraser Canyon what we call as Lillooet today. This was the time when this chronic tribe of Lil’wat worked as porters at the Douglas Road and got located in the Valley as residents with their family and tribe men. After the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush all the non-natives evacuated the region leaving behind John Currie, a prominent Tribe’s man who built up farmhouses and outbuildings in the region adjacent to Mount Currie.
