Description: The St'at'imc materials in the ACLS collection consist mainly of materials in the "Lillooet" section of the finding aid. These include ethnographic notes and multiple word lists recorded by Sapir, Boas, and Teit, including both Upper and Lower Lillooet. In the "Salish" section, Teit's "Salish (and Dene) ethnographic notes" (item 60) includes information on St'at'imc objects sent to the American Museum of Natural History, and Teit's "Songs from the Salish area" (item S.6) includes notes on 80 songs (some of which are St'at'imc) recorded for and sent to the National Museum of Canada (now the Canadian Museum of History). In the "Thompson" section of the finding aid, Teit's "Salish ethnographic materials" (item 61) includes some St'at'imc ethnographic information of undetermined extent.
