The '''Skatin First Nations''',<ref>[http://www.inshuckch.com/skatin.html Skatin First Nations page, In-SHUCK-ch website]</ref> aka the '''Skatin Nations''',<ref>[http://pse5-esd5.ainc-inac.gc.ca/fnp/Main/Search/FNMain.aspx?BAND_NUMBER=562&lang=eng Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, First Nation Dtail] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160124070625/http://pse5-esd5.ainc-inac.gc.ca/fnp/Main/Search/FNMain.aspx?BAND_NUMBER=562&lang=eng |date=2016-01-24 }}</ref> are a [[band government]] of the [[In-SHUCK-ch Nation]], a small group of the larger [[St'at'imc]] people who are also referred to as Lower Stl'atl'imx. The Town of [[Skatin]] - the [[St'at'imcets]] version of the Chinook Jargon ''Skookumchuck''- is located 4 km south of [[T'sek Hot Spring]]- ''alt. spelling '''T'sek Hot Spring''''' - commonly & formerly named both '''St. Agnes' Well''' & [[Skookumchuck Hot Springs]] The community is 28 km south of the outlet of [[Lillooet Lake]] on the east side of the [[Lillooet River]]. It is approximately 75 km south of the town of [[Pemberton, British Columbia|Pemberton]] and the large reserve of the [[Lil'wat]] branch of the [[St'at'imc]] at [[Mount Currie, British Columbia|Mount Currie]]. Other bands nearby are [[Samahquam First Nation|Samahquam]] at Baptiste Smith IR on the west side of the Lillooet River at 30 km. and [[Xa'xtsa First Nation]]s; the latter is located at [[Port Douglas, British Columbia|Port Douglas]], near the mouth of the Lillooet River where it enters the head of [[Harrison Lake]]. The [[N'Quatqua First Nation]] on [[Anderson Lake (British Columbia)|Anderson Lake]], between [[Mount Currie, British Columbia|Mount Currie]] and [[Lillooet, British Columbia|Lillooet]], was at one time involved in joint treaty negotiations with the In-SHUCK-ch but its members have voted to withdraw, though a tribal council including the In-SHUCK-ch bands and N'Quatqua remains, the [[Lower Stl'atl'imx Tribal Council]].
The site of the hot springs was used by travelers on the old [[Douglas Road]] prior to the abandonment of that route by most traffic in about 1864, when the [[Cariboo Road]] via the [[Fraser Canyon]] became the main access to the [[British Columbia Interior|BC Interior]] from the [[Lower Mainland]].
