History
Local oral histories are confident that the Tŝideldel First Nation was originally given a reserve at the mouth of the Alexis Creek (i.e. somewhat to the west of the town of Alexis Creek); the band was later moved to a less advantageous position at the Redstone Reserve.
Demographics
There are approximately 400 people living on-reserve, and probably as many living off-reserve.
