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 Symposium is happening on Oct 22-24 in Nelson, BC. This gathering is open to all Sinixt people — both sides of the River, both sides of the Line.
Welcome to the second issue of the Sinixt newsletter, keeping you informed about culture, history and current events across the transboundary Upper Columbia River basin.
