Skatin, Indigenous village in British Columbia, Canada.
Skatin is a village located on the eastern bank of the Lillooet River in British Columbia, situated within mountainous terrain covered by thick forests. The area includes several Indian Reserves such as Franks Reserve No. 10, Glazier Creek Reserve No. 12, and Skookumchuck Reserve No. 4.
The village was founded in the late 1800s and became one of the largest settlements along the lower Lillooet River during that period. Its establishment reflected the enduring presence of the local Indigenous community in the region.
The nearby SkookumChuck Rapids, known as qmemps in the Ucwalmicwts dialect, represents a central element in the local First Nations heritage.
The location is remote and situated away from major highway routes in an isolated area. Visitors should prepare for limited amenities and facilities typical of rural communities.
Located 4 kilometers south of T'sek Hot Spring, the village serves as a key point along the traditional route connecting Harrison Hot Springs to Pemberton.
