The population of Mount Currie is about 1,400 and it is the centre of the Mount Currie [[Indian reserve]], which is among the most populous - and poorest - of all Indian Reserves in Canada.{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}} The area is traditional territory of the [[Lil'wat]], a subgroup of the [[St'at'imc]] people who with the communities of [[In-SHUCK-ch]] to the south comprise the Lower St'at'imc or Lower Lillooet. Their government is the [[Mount Currie Indian Band]] (Lil'Wat First Nation) of the [[Lillooet Tribal Council]]. Although it is fairly close to Whistler, the community is not much reliant on the tourist industry.
