Compiled and published directly by the Splatsin people, Splatsin: Spallumcheen Indian Band History articulates the cultural sovereignty, oral histories, and territorial presence of the southernmost tribe of the Secwépemc Nation. Rooted in traditional spetékwll and Secwepemctsín language documentation, the text maps ancient hunting trails, fishing encampments, and camas-harvesting grounds spanning the Shuswap and Salmon river watersheds, including sites across Enderby, Mara, Grindrod, and Ashton Creek. The chronicle details the profound disruptions caused by nineteenth-century settler pre-emptions, the arbitrary reduction of tribal lands under colonial reserve commissions, and the impacts of the residential school system. The work stands as an essential legal and historical record detailing continuous Splatsin territorial stewardship and sovereign land title assertions across the North Okanagan.
