Stil'qw

Stil'qw is a name associated with the Whispering Pines and Clinton community of the Secwépemc. Their homeland reaches across the interior plateau toward the Bonaparte and Fraser rivers, a country of forests, grasslands and lakes. The community belongs to the Fraser River division of the wider Secwépemc nation, whose peoples are linked by language and enduring relationships. Salmon travelling up the Fraser sustained communities far inland, alongside the plants and game of the surrounding plateau.
