A NOTE ON COPYRIGHT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS While the copyright of this dissertation rests with myself as the author, I declare that the Secwepemc people, as represented by the seventeen Secwepemc Communities of the Secwepemc Nation, have inherent cultural rights and ownership of all oral histories and cultural information on the Secwepemc contained in this volume, and further claim first rights to any intellectual property arising from the cultural knowledge as derived from Secwepemc elders and other Secwepemc cultural specialists. I also respectfully acknowledge that the oral histories and cultural information from other Aboriginal nations that I cite in this thesis in the same manner represents the intellectual property of these respective Nations. m ABSTRACT This dissertation is about the history of my people, the Secwepemc. I treat the concept of history here as more than a chronological ordering of events in the lives of our people; my purpose is to construe the sense of history, or historical consciousness, of my people as it emerged during the last 10,000 years. Relying on multiple sources that include converging lines of evidence between geological, archaeological and oral history sources for the early period, and increasingly, written - explorers' and traders' - sources, and most importantly, my own ancestors' recorded narratives, I trace my people's motivations and interests in the unfolding of events, along with the meanings, from the vantage point of our culture, that we ought to employ to read such sources. Among the important stories that my people tell are the narratives that deal with our perception of the early newcomers, and of missionaries and the new religion they were imposing on us. In addition, it is worthwhile to listen to the ways that my people reflected on the relationship with the Crown as it emerged in the late 1800s, and early 1900s. As I argue, such "stories," ultimately, need to be connected to our sense of land, livelihood, title and autonomy as an Aboriginal Nation. Our people's stories, as I will show, defy the colonizers' attempts to separate us out into small portions of our land and livelihood, and bring back our sense of nationhood as a people, Secwepemc, connected to Secwepemculecw, our land.

I dedicate this work to my elders, especially to my great-grandmother, Julienne Ignace, and to my great-grandfather, Ettwa Eneas. I will always honour you. To all the elders who told me stories, I thank you all! I also honour all my children. Like my ancestors, they have taught me much! And I thank my wife, Marianne Ignace, for all her love and support! v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis had a long process of growth, of neglect, and of near failure as life dealt me some blows in the last several years. Writing about one's own people is a hard task, and it is even harder as time passes and many of those who gave their time and knowledge to this work are no longer with us. First of all, I wish to thank all the elders who shared their knowledge with me as I grew up, who taught me our language, the ways of our ancestors, and our history. These include my great- grandparents, Ettwa and Julienne Eneas; my grandparents Francis Ignace and Meleni Paul; and my parents, Lizzy Ignace and Francis Jules. I thank my aunts and uncles, especially my aunt Mona, who has been kye7e to all my children. And I thank the other elders who raised me, among them Selina Jules, Katie Humphrey and old Alice Celesta. And I thank Nels Mitchell and Seymour Pitel - I knew them in my younger days, but I have only come to appreciate their great contributions to understanding our songs and stories as I carried out this research. These elders' words and thoughts are in these pages. I thank the Secwepemc elders who agreed to be recorded and thus specifically contributed their knowledge and stories to my enquiry into Secwepemc history. They include the late Clothilde Thomas from Williams Lake; the late Laura Harry from Esk'et (Alkali Lake), the late Rose Phillip and Bill Porter from St'uxtews, Sarah Deneault from Neskonlith, the late Mary Thomas from Salmon Arm, and vi from my own community, Skeetchestn, the late Nellie Taylor, Theresa Jules, Sam Camille, and also Christine Simon and James Peters.

BLACKSTOCK RHONDA MCALLISTER Abstract Although the First Nations Elders from the interior of southern British Columbia, Canada, recall times when grass was “belly-high to a horse,” today they worry about the deteriorated state of the grasslands. Using ethnographic and historical research methods, this paper documents recognized First Nations experts’ historical memory of the grasslands. Based on the ethnographic accounts, this paper also attempts to reconstruct the effects of colonization on the grassland ecology and First Nations culture. Secondary sources such as early settlers’ accounts and current grassland ecology research are used to augment the testimony of the experts. Two eras are described: 1) Pre-contact era (the three hundred years prior to contact); and 2) Post-contact era (1846-present).

Culture and art happen, planned or not. The motivation for developing a vision and goals along with a strategy to achieve those goals flows from the growing recognition and acknowledgment that arts are integral to our human existence. Culture engages minds, enriches the education of children, and supports lifelong learning. Culture helps define the character or identity of a community in which people feel a sense of belonging. It engages citizens in activities that help build a sense of community, resilience, and civic engagement. Finally, as the community grows, culture celebrates diversity and helps newcomers feel welcome.
