The name of the Cariboo district of central British Columbia relates to their once-large numbers there, but they have almost vanished from that area in the last century. There are a number of populations in British Columbia that are currently being monitored. In 2006 there were approximately 200 to 340 individual boreal woodland caribou in the BC1 Maxhamish DU, north of Fort Nelson, [68] BC2 Calendar. The BC3 Snake-Sahtahneh boreal woodland caribou are non-migratory. [60] In BC4 Parker DU, there was a small local population of 20 individuals in 2006.

The Mi'kmaq people referred to caribou as xalibu or qalipu which means "the one who paws." [9] The word "caribous" was first published in print in the 1610 publication on the history of New France by Marc Lescarbot. Lescarbot partially based his writing on his expedition to 1606–1607 to Acadia where he encountered the Mi'kmaq people. [29] Silas Tertius Rand included the term kaleboo in his Mi'kmaq-English Dictionary in 1888.
