Cook's Ferry First Nation is a Nlaka'pamux First Nations government, located in the Central Interior region of the Canadian province of British Columbia. It is no longer a member of the Scw'exmx Tribal Council, because they were voted out (which is a tribal council of the Nlaka'pamux people). Other Nlaka'pamux governments belong either to the Fraser Canyon Indian Administration or the Nlaka'pamux Nation Tribal Council (except for the Lytton First Nation, which is unaffiliated).
Cook's Ferry First Nation reserve community and offices are located near Spences Bridge, a small town on the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 1) in the Thompson Canyon between Lytton and Cache Creek, at the confluence of the Nicola River and the Thompson.
