Template talk:Secwepemc peoples

Note: some of these seem to placenames rather than people names; I added 'mc or -emc to some but am unsure of the proper form.Skookum1 03:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

The regional divisions here mirror those on Secwepemc First Nations, which is a template listing band governments according to their tribal council affiliation, or unaffiliation; the Pavilion, High Bar and Alkali Lake are unaffiliated although there is an informal affiliation with Pavilion and the Secwepemc, but their primary tribal council membership is Lillooet Tribal Council (the Pavilion dialect is a hybrid of the two languages, but is mosly Secwepemtsin; in Alkali Lake and High Bar, their particular dialect(s) of Secwepemc (Canyon Shuswap) is intermixed with some local bilinguality in Tsilhqot'in; their presence in the Chilcotin, like that of the Ulkatcho, makes some of the text on Tsilhqot'in in need of serious revision, but that can be addressed elsewhere. Anyway, the Thompson-Shuswap-Columbia region is that of the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council, the Cariboo that of the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council, and the Fraser Canyon-East Chilcotin are the unaffiliated bands.Skookum1 03:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
