We are a transboundary Indigenous Tribe in the United States and an Aboriginal People of Canada. We have rights in both countries.
Welcome to our homeland, the land and water of the upper Columbia River watershed: from Kettle Falls, WA, to the “Big Bend” north of Revelstoke BC, in the beautiful Monashee, Selkirk and Purcell mountains, west of the Rockies.

The Sinixt Launch Dual Constitutional Challenges Against BC Government Over Discriminatory Exclusion from Land Consultation and Education
September 3, 2025
Today, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation filed two constitutional challenges to defend the rights of their Sinixt membership. The lawsuits come in response to British Columbia’s formal decisions to treat the Sinixt differently than other BC First Nations, despite the Supreme Court of Canada ruling that the Sinixt are an Aboriginal people of Canada in R. v. Desautel (2021).
