Siwash Creek is a creek which is located in the Similkameen region of British Columbia. The creek flows into Hayes Creek approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Jellicoe and 20 miles (32 km) northeast of Princeton, British Columbia.[1] Siwash Creek has been mined for gold.[2] The word is considered by some[who?] to be derisive, but remains in use in certain place names and other contexts without derogatory associations such as Siwash sweater.[citation needed] Nashwito Creek has also been referred to as Siwash Creek.
