Hello everyone !
The Okanagans.
The Okanagan (in Canada) or Okanogan (in the United States), are a population of Native Americans whose territory of origin extends on both sides of the border between the State of Washington in the United States and the province of British Columbia in Canada.
In their own language the Okanagan call themselves “Syilx”, they are part of the ethnological and linguistic groups called “Interior Salish”.
The traditional territory of the Okanagan people covers an area of approximately 69,000 km2.
Its northern boundary is near Mica Creek, just north of the city of Revelstoke, while it is bounded on the east by Kootenay Lake.
The southern boundary is near Wilbur, Washington, and the western boundary is the Nicola region.
In the United States, the Okanagan population is organized in an official structure called the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation whose constitutional texts were approved by the American federal government on February 26, 1938.
Good day and good game ;)
