According to a legend of the Tŝilhqot'in people in central British Columbia, ʔEniyud and Tŝ'ilʔoŝ were once a married couple. When conflict drove them to separate, they were turned to stone and became mountains. They are considered powerful protectors of the area. The Tŝilhqot'in language is spoken at home by over 550 people. (Census 2021)
