Language Affiliation: The dominant language is a member of the Blackwater dialect group of the Carrier language, which is a member of the Athabaskan-Eyak-Tlingit language family. Its closest Linguistic relative is the Lhoosk'us (Kluskus) dialect of Carrier. However, many people can also speak Chilcotin, a mutually unintelligible Athabaskan language. The older elders also speak Nuxalk (Bella Coola), an unrelated Salishan language.

Famous Leaders:
Jimmy Stillas (1936-1990). Jimmy Stillas was highly regarded as Chief of the Ulkatcho band. In 1990, while out hunting, his snow machine went through the ice and he died. His hunting partner, elder Wilfred Cassam, took two days to walk out for help. The RCMP's delay in initiating a search after Chief Stillas was reported missing was one of the incidents that triggered the Cariboo Justice Inquiry.
