DRAFT REPORT: Rights and Title Interests in <strong>the</strong> Columbia Valley Transmissi<strong>on</strong> Project Area<br />

Thus, <strong>the</strong> Columbia Valley Transmissi<strong>on</strong> Project area is within <strong>the</strong> territory <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> “Upper<br />

Kutenai,” as defined by anthropologists and linguists, and is within <strong>the</strong> overall area claimed by<br />

<strong>the</strong> present-day “Ktunaxa Nati<strong>on</strong> Council”.<br />

While several subgroups or “bands” have been identified within <strong>the</strong> larger Upper Kutenai and<br />

Lower Kutenai social divisi<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kutenai, it is <strong>the</strong> “Columbia Lake Band” or<br />

“/a . kisQnuKniK” 256 that is most relevant to <strong>the</strong> present study. This term, “/a . kisQnuKniK ”,<br />

translates as ‘people <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two lakes,’ with reference to <strong>the</strong> “main camp site” <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se people,<br />

located “near Fairm<strong>on</strong>t Hot Springs, between Columbia and Windermere Lakes.” 257 O<strong>the</strong>r<br />

transcripti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> “/a . kisQnuKniK ”, <strong>the</strong> name for <strong>the</strong> Columbia Lake band <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Upper Kutenai,<br />

include: “aqkísk . Enū´ kinik” 258 ; “aqkiskanū´ kEnik” 259 ; and “akisknúknik” . 260<br />
