First Nation government in British Columbia, Canada
The Esk'etemc First Nation , also known as the Alkali Lake Indian Band , is a
First Nations government of the
Secwepemc (Shuswap) people, located at
Alkali Lake in the
Cariboo region of the
Central Interior of the
Canadian province of
British Columbia . It was created when the government of the then-
Colony of British Columbia established an
Indian reserve system in the 1860s. It is one of three Secwepemc bands that is not a member of either the
Shuswap Nation Tribal Council or the
Northern Shuswap Tribal Council .
In the
Shuswap language , the people of Alkali Lake are the
Esketemc ("people of Esket").
The Esk'etemc First Nation has not signed any treaty with any settler-colonial political entity, nor has it ceded any land and let go its territorial claims.
