"The Tk‘emlúpsemc, ‘the People of the confluence’, now known as: the Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc, are members of the Interior-Salish Secwepemc (Shuswap) speaking Peoples, of British Columbia. The Shuswap or, Secwepemc People (pronounced: suh-Wep-muhc), occupy a vast territory of the interior of British Columbia. This traditional territory stretches from the Columbia River Valley along the Rocky Mountains, west, to the Fraser River and south, to the Arrow Lakes. Most Secwepemc people live in the river valleys.The word "Kamloops" is the English translation of the Shuswap word Tk’emlúps, meaning: ‘where the rivers meet' and for centuries, has been the home of the Tk’emlupsemc ‘People of the confluence.’ The traditional Secwepemc lived as a self-governing nation, grouped into bands. Although the bands were separate and independent, a common language and a similar culture and belief system united them. Before the smallpox epidemic of 1862, there were thirty-two Secwepemc bands, with four Secwepemc dialects. Today, there are 17 remaining bands that make up the Secwepemc Nation and three Secwepemc dialects.
