The
High Bar First Nation is a
First Nations government of the
Secwepemc (Shuswap) Nation, located in the
Fraser Canyon-
Cariboo region of the
Central Interior of the
Canadian province of
British Columbia. It was created when the government of the then-
Colony of British Columbia established an
Indian Reserve system in the 1860s. It is one of three Secwepemc bands that is not a member of either the
Shuswap Nation Tribal Council or the
Northern Shuswap Tribal Council. The High Bar people are also partly
Tsilhqot'in and have links with some Chilcotin First Nations.
In the Chilcotin language, the High Bar people are the Llenlleney'ten. The Secwepemc in the Fraser Canyon and on the Chilcotin Plateau are also known as the Canyon Shuswap and have traditionally had close ties with the Tsilhqot'in people.
