High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Alexis Creek, also known as Anaham, is an unincorporated community in the Chilcotin District of the western Central Interior of the Canadian province of British Columbia, on Highway 20 between Williams Lake and Bella Coola. The creek is named, like the adjacent lake of the same name, for a colonial-era chief of the Tsilhqot`in people, Alexis, who figured in the story of the Chilcotin War of 1864 (though as a non-combatant). As of 2006, Alexis Creek has 127 residents. The community`s alternate, indigenous name, Anaham, should not be confused with Anahim Lake, which is another community of the Tsilhqot`in people and is also named for another Chilcotin War-era chief, Anahim.
