The Plateau People

The people of the plateau live in a narrow area including the backlands of British Columbia and the southern part of Alberta

There are exceptions to this rule, but hunting and fishing grounds generally belong to the whole village.

In some groups, families and individuals have certain fisheries and berry farms, but others need permission to use their resources.

Then there are other options for the chief. Because of their personal abilities and knowledge, they were chosen to play different roles such as hunting and war. For example, they have squid chiefs who are responsible for fishing in the village.

The plateau society is relatively democratic, and everyone in the village has expressed their views in all major decisions. However, when deciding to influence the mayor, the chief gained more power.

In some areas, they also have an elders committee advising on important community issues.

As Ktunaxa society has more life experiences and is considered to be very sensible, all elections are given to the elders.

People who arrived at the plateau arrived at the plateau from the south about 10,000 years ago because the glacier retreated to the north. In the history of the country, the Canadian plateau was divided into three main groups: Athapascan, Interior Salish and Ktunaxa. These three groups can be further divided into eight major plateau groups: Tsilhqot'in (formerly Chilcotin), Carrier, Nicola, Secwepemc (formerly Shuswap), Stl'atl'imx (formerly Lillooet) Okanagan, Nlaka 'pream (formerly Thompson) and Ktunaxa (formerly Kutenai or Kootenay). The language of the highland language is divided into three main language groups: Athapascan, Salishian, and Ktunaxa.
