Our Nlaka’pamux Territory

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.

The main Coldwater Reserve area (IR#1) is located approximately 13 km southwest of Merritt
Pauls Basin (IR#2) is located approximately 22km southwest of Merritt
Gwen Lake (IR#3) is located approximately 15km south of MerrittNlaka’pamux Traditional Territory
