Halfway River First Nation

The Halfway River people were at one point part of the "Hudson Hope Indian Band" but in 1971 they split off, and the remaining people formed West Moberly First Nations. As of January 2024, there were 317 registered members, with 137 living on the reserve.

The current chief is Darlene Hunter (replacing Russell Lily in December 2013)
