The Secwepeme Museum and History

Abstract

The Secwepeme Museum and Heritage Park in Kamloops is the first native-owned and operated museum to be developed in the interior of British Columbia. The museum derives its mandate from the Shuswap Declaration of 1982, an agreement signed by the 17 bands of the Shuswap Nation to work in unity, preserve, perpetuate and enhance the Shuswap language, history and culture.
