Chilliwack Indian Tribe History
Chilliwack. A Salish tribe on a river of the same name in British Columbia,
now speaking the Cowichan dialect, though anciently Nooksak according to Boas.
Pop. 313 in 1902. Their villages, mainly on the authority of Hill-Tout, are:
Atselits
Chiaktel
Kokaia

The Can. Ind. Aff. Reports give Koquapilt and Skwah (distinct from Skway), and Boas gives Keles, which are not
identifiable with any of the above.
