The Secwepemc ( ;〔The "c"s are pronounced as "h"s.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=First Nations Peoples of British Columbia )〕 Secwepemc: or ), known in English as the Shuswap people , are a First Nations people residing in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Their traditional territory ranges from the eastern Chilcotin Plateau and the Cariboo Plateau southeast through the Thompson Country to Kamloops and the Shuswap Country, and spans the Selkirk Mountains and Big Bend of the Columbia River to include the northern part of the Columbia Valley region. The Secwepemc are perhaps the most numerous of the Interior Salish peoples of British Columbia if based upon the numbers who speak their language.〔(Statistics Canada: 2006 Census )〕 Their traditional language is Shuswap, known as ''Secwepemctsín'' (), which is currently spoken by over 1,600 people.〔 Secwepemctsín is being revitalized by the efforts of organizations such as Chief Atahm School, which offers an immersion program until the ninth grade. The Secwepemc have always stressed the importance of recognizing their title to the land. In 1910, the Secwepemc Chiefs addressed a memorial to Prime Minister Laurier. The memorial laid out the grievances of the Secwepemc stemming from the previous 50 years of settlement. ==Notable Secwepemc people== *Braedon Paul, master chief since 1995, head Elder, Subedar *Darrell Dennis, comedian, actor, screenwriter and radio personality *George Manuel, first president of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples *Vera Manuel, poet and playwright *Mary Thomas, Teacher and Elder *Arthur Manuel, son of George Manuel 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Secwepemc」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
