Located on Fraser River, north east of Bridal falls on 150.9 hectares; 2 reserves. The reserves were established June 10, 1879.

Linguists today translate this name as "puffball," regarding with suspicion the equating of the word with "old spring salmon." The band was formerly part of the Tait Band. The band is part of the Salishan linguistic group.
