===Upper St{{hamza}}at{{hamza}}imc===
The tribal territory of the different groups of the Upper St{{hamza}}át{{hamza}}imc extended west of the Fraser River from the mouth of the Pavilion Creek (′Sk'elpáqs′) to the Texas Creek in the mountains above the [[Bridge River, British Columbia|Bridge River]] and westward through the valleys of Seton Lake and Anderson Lake to Duffey Lake. The territory of the Upper St{{hamza}}át{{hamza}}imc east of the Fraser River included the [[Fountain Valley (British Columbia)|Three Lake Valley]] (also known as ''Fountain Valley'') and the adjacent mountains and stretched towards the [[Hat Creek (British Columbia)|Hat Creek]], a tributary of the Bonaparte River.

The Upper St{{hamza}}át{{hamza}}imc settled in several main settlements on the banks above the Fraser River and on the banks of the Seton and Anderson Lake&nbsp;— probably the word 'St{{hamza}}át{{hamza}}imc' is derived from a former village ''T{{hamza}}at{{hamza}}lh'' on Keatley Creek. Previous there were the following communities: ''Sk'ámqain'' on the shore of Seton Lake, ''Sat{{hamza}}'' at the site of present-day city of Lillooet, ''Nxwísten'' at the mouth of the Bridge River, ''Xáxlip'' (′Fountain′), ''Slha7äs'' and ''Tsal'álh'' along Seton Lake and ''Nk'wátkwa'' on the western shore of Lake Anderson. Beside those significant settlements there have been several smaller villages. In [[Pavilion, British Columbia|Pavilion]] (Tsk'wáylacw), a mainly ethnically and linguistically [[Secwepemc]] settlement in the 19th century, since the beginning of the 20th century this community speaks usually [[Lillooet language|St{{hamza}}at{{hamza}}imcets]], but their particular dialect is a hybrid of St{{hamza}}at{{hamza}}imcets and [[Secwepemctsin]], because there had been many mixed marriages between Secwepemc and St{{hamza}}át{{hamza}}imc, know forming the [[Tsk'weylecw'mc]] or [[Pavilion Indian Band]].
