Traditional Territory / Lake Frontage Rd.
Kamloops & Whisler, CANADÀ 2024
The reference to "Traditional Territory / Lake Frontage Rd." (Lake Frontage Road) is typically understood within the context of British Columbia, especially in the Sea-to-Sky region (where Pemberton is located).
Traditional Territory: This area is entirely located within the ancestral and unceded territory of the Líl'wat Nation (Líl̓wat7úl) and part of the St'át'imc Nation. These territories represent the lands where Indigenous Peoples have lived, governed, and maintained their culture since time immemorial.
Lake Frontage Road: This term refers to local, often small, roads that hug the shores of lakes (such as Seton Lake or Lillooet Lake) or rivers. These roads often provide key access to fishing spots, camping areas, and settlements, many of which are historically located within the boundaries of the Líl'wat or St'át'imc First Nation territories.
Significance: The combined term emphasizes that any activity conducted on these local thoroughfares touching the key lakes and shorelines is done on lands that the Líl'wat Nation continues to assert as their own.
