Nlaka'pamuctsin

The resulting document was written in English by James Teit, compiled and translated from the mother tongues of the gathered delegates, Nlaka’pamuctsin, Secwépemctsin and nsyilxcən.

The Nlaka’pamux Nation inhabits the intersecting canyons of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers, spanning a territory from Spuzzum to Yale B.C., including the mountainous regions east of Yale/Hope, and extending southwest into the United States as far as Mount Baker. Speaking Nlaka’pamuctsin, an Interior Salish language, they have a strong tradition of expression through clothing and jewelry.
