Excerpt from Notes on the Shuswap People of British Columbia The notes and observations here presented have been made at different times by the writer, while engaged in geological work in the southern inland portion of British Columbia, during the years 1817, 1888, 1889 and 1890. The work in hand did not admit of any special or systematic study of the Indians, but almost constant association with these people naturally afforded numerous opportunities of acquiring information respecting them, and the circumstances were such as to favour especially the accumulation of local notes and the identification of places. The information thus gathered, is here presented explicitly and for the most part without comment or attempt at explanation or correlation. The writer ventures to hope that this record of observations may be accepted as a useful contribution to the knowledge of the ethnology of the region, and as one which may be of service in future investigations, though in itself possessed of no high scientific value. It will be understood that these notes make no pretence to completeness, and that while some matters are referred to at considerable length, other aspects of the life of the people, upon which it has happened that nothing of apparent value was obtained, are passed over in silence. It must further be mentioned that Dr. Franz Boas, who has for some years been engaged in the investigation of the ethnology of British Columbia, for the Committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science on the Northwestern Tribes of Canada, has recently prepared a short report on the Shuswaps. This is embodied in the sixth report of the Committee (pp. 80-95), lately printed, and some subjects fully dealt with therein are here altogether omitted. Neither is any attempt here made to deal with the language, in its several dialects. A vocabulary of the Sta'-tlum-ooh or Lillooet has already been published in the "Composition Vocabularies of the Indian Tribes of British Columbia" (1884), by the writer and the late Dr. Tolmie, while short vocabularies, with some notes on the grammar, are given by Dr. Boas in the work above cited, and it is understood that the same author is engaged in a further study of this and allied languages. The latter part of the present paper consists of a list of place-names in the Shuswap country. The positions of most of these places have been accurately identified on the ground, while the names themselves have been obtained from Indians with local knowledge and employed from time to time as guides or in other capacities. The maps at present in existence are, however, so inexact in detail, that it is often difficult to clearly localize on them the points to which the names apply. This difficulty will be removed for a certain part of the region on the publication of the Kamloops sheet of the geological map, now in the hands of the engraver.

Secwépemc People, Land, and Laws is a journey through the 10,000-year history of the Interior Plateau nation in British Columbia. Told through the lens of past and present Indigenous storytellers, this volume detail how a homeland has shaped Secwépemc existence while the Secwépemc have in turn shaped their homeland. Marianne Ignace and Ronald Ignace, with contributions from ethnobotanist Nancy Turner, archaeologist Mike Rousseau, and geographer Ken Favrholdt, compellingly weave together Secwépemc narratives about ancestors’ deeds. They demonstrate how these stories are the manifestation of Indigenous laws (stsq'ey') for social and moral conduct among humans and all sentient beings on the land, and for social and political relations within the nation and with outsiders. Breathing new life into stories about past transformations, the authors place these narratives in dialogue with written historical sources and knowledge from archaeology, ethnography, linguistics, earth science, and ethnobiology. In addition to a wealth of detail about Secwépemc land stewardship, the social and political order, and spiritual concepts and relations embedded in the Indigenous language, the book shows how between the mid-1800s and 1920s the Secwépemc people resisted devastating oppression and the theft of their land, and fought to retain political autonomy while tenaciously maintaining a connection with their homeland, ancestors, and laws. An exemplary work in collaboration, Secwépemc People, Land, and Laws points to the ways in which Indigenous laws and traditions can guide present and future social and political process among the Secwépemc and with settler society.

The vast temperate rainforests of coastal British Columbia are world renowned, but much less is known about the other rainforest located 500 kilometres inland along the western slopes of the interior mountains. The unique integration of continentality and humidity in this region favours the development of lush rainforest communities that incorporate both coastal and boreal elements. In British Columbia's Inland Rainforest, scientists bring together, for the first time, a broad spectrum of information about this distinctive ecosystem. They also consider the ecological consequences of human activities in the rainforest and present strategies for its management and conservation.

Early hunter/gatherer societies have traditionally been considered basically egalitarian in nature. This assumption, however, has been challenged by contemporary archaeological and anthropological research, which has demonstrated that many of these societies had complex social, economic, and political structures. This volume considers two British Columbia Native communities -- the Lillooet and Shuswap communities of Fountain and Pavilion - and traces their development into complex societies. The authors explore the relation between resource characteristics and hunter/gatherer adaptations and examine the use of fish, animal, and plant species, documenting their availability and the techniques used in their gathering, processing, and storing. The book also shows how cultural practices, such as raiding, potlatching, and stewardship of resources, can be explained from a cultural ecological point of view. An important contribution to the study of hunting and gathering cultures in the Northwest, this book is the most detailed examination of the subsistence base of a particular hunting and gathering group to date. Its exploration of the reasons why complex hunting and gathering societies emerge, as well as the ecological relationships between cultures and resources, will make an important contribution to the study of cultural ecology and contemporary archaeology.
