First Nations (Secwepemc, Tsilhqot'in)

First Nations are Indigenous peoples in Canada, with distinct cultures and languages. The Secwepemc and Tsilhqot'in are specific First Nations groups located in British Columbia. The Secwepemc traditionally inhabit the Shuswap region, known for its rich history and connection to the land. The Tsilhqot'in, also in British Columbia, have a deep cultural heritage tied to their territory. Both groups have unique traditions, governance systems, and languages, and they continue to advocate for their rights, land, and culture in contemporary society. Their histories contribute to Canada's diverse cultural landscape.
