Snokomish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Snokomish were a Halkomelem-speaking Coast Salish people whose territory was primarily located across the Boundary Bay area. The Snokomish were also known as the Derby people, as their territory included a portion of the Fraser River, near Derby, British Columbia.

Their territory surrounded the mouths of three rivers: the Nicomekl River, Serpentine River and Campbell River.[1] Closest to modern day Point Roberts, Washington and Crescent Beach. The first two rivers empty into Mud Bay, the northeastern portion of Boundary Bay, north of today's Crescent Beach, whereas the mouth of the Campbell River empties into Semiahmoo Bay (the eastern portion of Boundary Bay).
The Campbell River lets out to the ocean at the Semiahmoo First Nation's reserve lands--very close to today's city of White Rock, British Columbia.
