Secwepemc Nation
The Secwepemc Nation is an Indigenous group located in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. They are part of the larger Shuswap people and traditionally inhabit the Secwepemc territory, which includes areas around the Thompson and Fraser Rivers. The Secwepemc people have a rich cultural heritage, including their own language, known as Secwepemctsin, and a deep connection to the land.
Historically, the Secwepemc Nation engaged in hunting, fishing, and gathering, relying on the natural resources of their territory. Today, they continue to advocate for their rights and sovereignty, working to preserve their culture and language while engaging in economic development initiatives. The Secwepemc Nation is also involved in various partnerships and collaborations with other Indigenous groups and organizations.
