Secwépemc

The Secwépemc (/ʃəxhwɛpˈmɪx/ shəkh-whep-MIKH;[2] Secwepemctsín: [ʃəˈxʷɛpməx] or [səˈxʷɛpməx]), also known by the exonym Shuswap (/ˈʃuːʃwɑːp/ SHOOSH-wahp), are a First Nations people residing in the interior of the Canadian province of British Columbia.

For instance, Secwepemctsín is being taught in Chief Atahm School, which offers an immersion program to students from K-9.

[5] The program focuses on the language, culture, and traditions of the Secwepemc people.

Their paper laid out the cumulative grievances of the Secwepemc, based on the previous 50 years of European-Canadian settlement in their territory.

Since the late 20th century, the Secwepmc people have created a number of organizations, institutions, and initiatives to help their people, including the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council and Secwepemc Cultural Education Society.
