THE TSILKOTINS ARE THE ATHAPASCAN TRIBES FROM B.C. THEY LIVE IN THE VALLEY OF CHILOCOTIN RIVER. THEIR RELATIVES ARE CARRIERS WHO LIVE ADJACENT TO THE ATHAPASCANS WHO ARE IN CONTACT WITH THEM. THEY TRADED WITH THE BELLACOOLA. THEY ARE COMMUNICATED WITH THE KWAIKIUTLS. THEY DO NOT KNOW THE SHUSWAP MUCH. IN EARLIER TIMES THESE TRIBES WERE AT WAR. THE SHUSWAP COMPETED THE SALISH TO MAKE PEACE AND PERMIT INTERMARRIAGE.
THE CENTER OF THE TSILKOTN TERRITORY WAS IN ANAHEM LAKE. THEY RANGED AS FAR SOUTH AS CHILCO LAKE WHERE THEY FISHED FOR SALMON. THEY MOVED IN LARGE GROUPS TO CHILCO LAKE WHERE THEY FISHED FOR SALMON. THEY MOVED IN LARGE GROUPS TO CHILCOTIN RIVER. AS SOON AS SOON AS THE SEASON WAS PAST THEY RETURNED TO THEIR HOMES.
