{{unreferenced section|date=December 2024}} 
The region was historically occupied by the [[Musqueam]] and [[Tsleil-Waututh First Nation|Tsleil'waututh]], and the southern portion was historically occupied by the [[Squamish people|Squamish]]. Its claims overlap those of the Tsleil-waututh, Musqueam, and Kwikwetlem. Other peoples who historically occupied the region are the [[Sto:lo]], [[Sts'Ailes|Chehalis]], [[Katzie First Nation|Katzie]], [[Kwantlen First Nation|Kwantlen]], [[Tsawwassen First Nation|Tsawwassen]], and [[Semiahmoo First Nation|Semiahmoo]]; many of their territories overlap with those of the Musqueam, and with each other. Many other peoples of the [[Georgia Strait]] region also frequented the lower Fraser, including those from Vancouver Island and what is now [[Whatcom County, Washington]]. Sto:lo "traditional territory", known as ''Solh Temexw'' in [[Halkomelem]], roughly coincides with the Lower Mainland, except for the inclusion of [[Port Douglas, British Columbia|Port Douglas]] at the head of Harrison Lake, which is in [[In-SHUCK-ch]] territory, and the lands around Burrard Inlet.
