70 Mile House, nestled in British Columbia's Cariboo region, carries a layered history shaped by both indigenous peoples and the Cariboo Gold Rush. Long before European settlers arrived, indigenous communities, primarily from the Secwepemc (Shuswap) and St’at’imc (Lillooet) Nations, inhabited the area, cultivating deep connections to the land and developing rich cultural traditions. Their presence predates the rush by millennia, evidenced by archaeological sites and oral histories that speak to their enduring legacy.
