Between the Coast Mountains and the Rocky Mountains. in what is now British Columbia, lived the peoples of the Plateau. They include:
- Stl'atl'imx (Lillooet)
- Okanagan
- Secwepemc (Shuswap)
- Nlaka'pamux (Thompson)
- Ktunaxa (Kootenay)
- Kinbasket
The homes of the Plateau peoples depended on the location and time of year. They might be lean-tos, lodges, tents, tipis and semi-underground pit houses. They were skilled and inventive fishermen, fishing the rich salmon-bearing streams. They were skilled hunters as well, hunting the many deer, moose, elk and mountain goats that lived in this area of the land.
