34. The country referred to includes all the present territory of the Nkamtci'nemux, and down the Thompson to near Lytton, the Nicola, Similkameen, Okanagon and southern Shuswap regions.
35. The Indians maintain that this is the reason why coyotes at the present day are most numerous around Spences bridge and farther to the east. From Spences Bridge west they get scarcer, and are seldom seen around or below Lytton. The bad ones among the Coyote people were turned into the animal of that name; and as their habitat (when people) was principally around Spences Bridge, and to the east and southeast, it still remains the same now.
