I asked at
Talk:Chilcotin language for someone to come forward to translate this; I don't know much more than very basic bits about Athapaskan languages in general, such as -ko/-qox meaning "river", and used to fancy this might be a Chilcotin adaptation of the word for "stars" in Chinook Jargon (tsil-tsil, conceivably dzil-dzil) but I note that there's a Nadila Lake and Nadila Creek which drain the plateau...the "dil" part would probably come from the same root-word/meaning....so we'll just have to hope some info turns up some day. Great name, kind of eerie but probably much more innocuous....
