The St'at'imc (), also known as the Lillooet , Sťáťimc, Stl'atl'imx , etc., are an Interior Salish people located in the southern Coast Mountains and Fraser Canyon region of the Interior of the Canadian province of British Columbia. St'at'imc culture displayed many features typical of Northwest Coast peoples: the potlatch, clan names, mythology, prestige afforded the wealthy and generous, and totem poles in some communities, especially in the Lil'wat First Nation (''Lil'wat7ul''), whose tribal lands and trade routes in the Whistler Valley and Green River Vally overlapped with those of the Squamish First Nation, a Coast Salish people.〔(Lillooet )〕 Today they total about 6259. ==Groups== The St'at'imc are divided linguistically, culturally and geographically into two main tribes or First Nations.〔(Interior Salish )〕 * The Upper St'at'imc (Upper Lillooet or Fraser River Lillooet), living near the present city of Lillooet on the Fraser River. They refer to themselves as ''STLA'tlei-mu-wh-talk'' and speak ''St'at'imcets'' dialect. * The Lower St'at'imc (Lower Lillooet or Mount Currie Lillooet), living in the vicinity of today's Mount Currie in the Pemberton Valley and south to Skookumchuk. They refer to themselves as ''LEEL'-wat-OOL'' - 'The true People', 'The true Lillooet' (of which were the words 'Lillooet' and 'Lilwat' derived) and speak ''Ucwalmícwts'' ('oo-Kwale MEWK') dialect. * The Lakes Lillooet (''Lexalexamux'' or ''Tsala'lhmec'' - 'Lake People'),〔(St’át’imc History )〕 a group only sporadically recognized, living between the territories of Upper St'at'imc and Lower St'at'imc around Seton Lake and Anderson Lake - whose descendants are today's N'quatqua First Nation (also known as ''Anderson Lake Indian Band'') and Seton Lake First Nation (also known as ''Seton Lake Indian Band''), historically a group at the foot of Seton Lake, near Lillooet, known as the ''Skimka'imx'' were also included in this group.〔(The Stl'atl'imx People (Lillooet, Nequatque & In-SHUCK-ch First Nations) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St'at'imc」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
