  • Coldwater Indian Band: Preliminary Ethnographic and Historic Overview and Traditional Use Study
    Hearing Order OH-001-2014 Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Application for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project Coldwater Indian Band: Preliminary Ethnographic and Historic Overview and Traditional Use Study Submitted to Coldwater Indian Band 26 May 2015 Prepared by Inglis Consulting Coldwater Indian Band: Preliminary Ethnographic and Historic Overview and Traditional Use Study Executive Summary The Coldwater Indian Band commissioned this Report, Preliminary Ethnographic and Historic Overview and Traditional Use Study, for submission to the National Energy Board pursuant to Hearing Order OH-001-2014 as part of their response to the proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project. This Report is preliminary and should not be considered as definitive nor as representing all the information on the occupation and traditional uses of the Nicola Valley region, including the tributary valleys, by the Coldwater Indian Band or their ancestors. Further research would undoubtedly uncover more information, and further analysis would lead to enhanced interpretations. The following conclusions and opinions relating to Coldwater Nlaka’pamux history, use and occupation of the Nicola Valley region and Nlaka’pamux territory are made from the research to date: The Coldwater are identified in the anthropological literature and in the Indian Affairs records as a division of the Nicola branch of the Nlka’pamux (Thompson). The territory of the Nicola Thompson is centred on the Nicola Valley and the surrounding tributary valleys. The earliest known inhabitants of the eastern end of Nicola Valley and the upper Similkameen River were a group identified by anthropologists as the Nicola Athapaskans. There is some evidence that they may be descended from Chilcotins who settled in the area prior to contact with whites.

  • In Days Gone by by Henry Nicholson (26Th Report of the Okanagan Historical Society – 1962)
    In Days Gone By By Henry Nicholson (26th Report of The Okanagan Historical Society – 1962) Editor’s Note: The reminiscences of an early settler in the Similkameen country were contained in a letter to the editor of the Hedley Gazette and Similkameen Advertiser and were published in the first issue of that newspaper dated January 10, 1905. Further reminiscences by Judge T. H. Murphy written at the same time for the same newspaper will appear later in these pages. I well remember my first glimpse of the Similkameen Valley, when after a long and fatiguing ride from Princeton (Mr. Allisons) together with my partner, Mr. Barrington Price, arriving at the Hudson’s Bay post which we had leased as a stock ranch. It was a beautiful September afternoon in the year 1872: the day had been excessively hot and now as the sun was westering, the valley bathed in a haze was so quiet and lifeless as to be oppressive, more noticeable to one just from the old country with its busy life. This change to a wild solitude, this narrow valley surrounded with steep and rugged mountains with here and there masses of black pine, might well have been another Thaeblad, where the saints of old and those who were not saints sought solitude from their fellow men “the world forgotten by the world forgot.” How different now the scene which meets the eye (1905). Instead of benches covered with sage brush and cactus, and bottom land luxuriant ‘tis true with wild herbage, the home of flocks of prairie chicken, but no sign of man’s habitation, we are surrounded with cultivated farms and comfortable homes with the happy voices of children, telling us that the days of the solitude of the Similkameen are past no more to return.
