The Nicola-Similkameen subsisted primarily on lake fishing. Salmon were obtained mainly through trade, as anadromous fish were not available either in the upper Nicola River or along the entire length of the Similkameen River. ###>Ils vivent principalement de pêche lacustre et se procurent du saumon par le troc, car les poissons anadromes ne se trouvent ni dans la partie supérieure de la rivière Nicola ni à aucun endroit de la rivière Similkameen.
