From National Geographic:Thank you for sharing your feedback about this map. We wish to explain that the sole purpose of our map is to show the approximate extent of Native American language families at the time of first European contact. Lillooet is the conventional name that linguists use to classify the native language of Canada's Lillooet people. This language is also recognized by its native variant name, St'at'imcets. Because of scale limitations, our map does not portray the Lil'wat Nation (part of the Lower Lillooet or St'at'imc peoples) or other native North American subgroups.
