Nlakapamux Salish Archeological evidence indicates that the Sekwelwas, or Cayoose Creek Band lived on Cayoosh Flat (which became Lillooet) for thousands of years, occupying Sheeshkans, or pit houses in large family groups. Trails created by these early inhabitants lace the surrounding hillsides and are still in use as popular hiking trails. Today, archeologists are working with Lillooet First Nations to excavate an extensive village of pit houses and food caches dating back approximately 2,000 years.
