Sk'atsin

Sk'atsin, also known as Neskonlith, is a Secwépemc community of the Shuswap lake country. The South Thompson River and the great lakes of Shuswap and Adams form the heart of this eastern part of Secwépemc territory. Winter villages were generally placed on dry river terraces or sheltered lakeshores near streams. Salmon travelling inland through these waters supplied a central food, and fishing places remained deeply bound to the community's laws and relationships with its homeland.
