The Band

Splatsin First Nation is a band of about 900 members, of which only 330 live on reserve land.

The Splatsin people reside on Indian reserve lands adjacent to the City of Enderby to the south and across the Shuswap River to the east. The Splatsin are the southernmost tribe of the Shuswap Nation, the largest Interior Salish speaking First Nation in Canada. Our aboriginal territory stretches from the B.C./Alberta border near the Yellowhead Pass to the plateau west of the Fraser River, southeast to the Arrow Lakes and to the upper reaches of the Columbia River. https://www.splatsin.ca/about

Five arrows depict Council which are bound together by the three Eagle feathers which mark Splatsin’s three reserves.
The five Secwepemctsin place names are physical parts of the territory near or within the reserve boundaries.
