First Nation Connections

It has been the priority of the Revelstoke school district Indigenous Education department to reach out and build relationship with the Sinixt, Secwepemc, Ktunaxa, and Syilx Okanagan Nations.
View all of our connections

Sinixt

The Sinixt territory spans the length of the Snxwntkwitkw from the big bend North of Revelstoke, BC to Kettle Falls, WA, west to the Monashee ridge and east to the Rockies.

Secwépemc

The Secwépemc territory stretches from the banks of the Snxwntkwitkw through the interior of BC to the banks of the Fraser River, from the southern reaches of the Arrow lakes to the Northern Rocky Mountains.

Ktunaxa

The Ktunaxa territory expands through the Kootenay region of south-eastern British Columbia and historically included parts of Alberta, Montana, Washington and Idaho

Syilx Okanagan

The Sylix Okanagan territory extends just north of Revelstoke, BC, and runs to the eastern boundary between Kaslo and Kootenay Lakes. In the south, near Wilbur, WA the boundary follows the western border to the Nicola Valley.
