What defines us as Nlaka'pamux is not a line on a map but a way of life, a shared culture and a communal responsibility to future generations. Our homeland is a gift from the Creator, passed to us from ancestors and held by us in trust for our children and future generations. Member communities include: Snepa (Spuzzum), Nteq'em (Oregon Jack Creek), Lytton, Skuppah, and Boothroyd. We live in the Fraser Canyon and Southern interior of BC near the communities known today as Boston Bar, Cache Creek, Yale, and Lytton.

The Nlaka'pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC) protects and advances the title and rights of the Nlaka'pamux Nation. It is guided by the wisdom of our ancestors and Elders, by the Nlaka'pamux Resolution on Natural Resources and by the fundamental law that if you take care of the land, the land will take care of you.
