The eastern portion of the reserves extends north to the same latitude as the Owl Creek community but is well back from the river at that point.

On a grassy island 5 kilometres (3 mi) above Lillooet Lake, the residents numbered 50 men (plus women and children).

[2] In 1881, the government created a 2,000-hectare (5,000-acre) reserve at Mount Currie, upon which the people cultivated fine crops and orchards by the early 1900s.

[4] The bell from a demolished Vancouver church was offered to the band, who transported this extremely heavy gift northward by cart and canoe.

After spending 20 years in Whistler, the bell returned to now hang at the old village site in an open-air steeple, ringing on the passing of band members.

In 1958, a second building was erected, which housed grades 1–7 classrooms and a residential section for staff.

[18] About 1923, Bill Kiltz (of Lillooet Lake Trading Co) built the first Creekside store, a log cabin structure opposite the present church.

Called Penny's, then Mount Currie Dry Goods, this was the first true clothing store in the area.

Down the road, Gerry Boulanger ran a taxi service to Pemberton and a small café.

[25] After the church on the reserve burned, the present St. Christopher's replaced it, being built on freehold land to serve all Catholics.

The Trap was a movie filmed at Birkenhead Lake and Mount Currie, using indigenous extras.

[29] In 1905, a water-powered 10,000-kilogram (23,000 lb) sawmill came for a short period to produce lumber for the hatchery buildings.

[34] During the era, the continuous forest bordering the Pemberton Portage hosted several pole and tie manufacturers.

[35] Sam Spetch's petitioning was instrumental in the creation of the Correspondence Branch of the BC Department of Education in 1919.

[36] In 1929, A.William (Bill) Spetch took over his father's store at Owl Creek, which thrived from both the hatchery and valley customer base.

The northward advance of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway (PGE) rail head passed in November 1914.

[40] The mainstays of agriculture and forestry have since been supplemented by tourism and service-based industries, where improved internet has enabled professionals to work from home.
