As a proud member of the Skeetchestn Indian Band, it is my honour to welcome you to the unceded, ancestral territory of the Secwepemcúl̓ecw. I invite you to connect with the land around you. Pay attention to its beauty, its gifts, and its quiet wisdom. As you enjoy the fruits of this territory, I encourage you to embrace the responsibility of leaving it better than you found it. We are all stewards of this land, and our actions today shape the stories we will tell tomorrow.
