Secwépemc people, land, and laws = Yerí7 re Stsq̓ey̓s-kucw by Call Number: BKE G53 S43 2017ISBN: 9780773551305Publication Date: 2017- Our oral histories are our iron posts : Secwepemc stories and historical consciousness byCall Number: BKE G53 U76 2008Publication Date: 2008"This dissertation is about the history of my people, the Secw?pemc. I treat the concept of history here as more than a chronological ordering of events in the lives of our people; my purpose is to construe the sense of history, or historical consciousness, of my people as it emerged during the last 10,000 years... Our people's stories, as I will show, defy the colonizers' attempts to separate us out into small portions of our land and livelihood, and bring back our sense of nationhood as a people, Secw?pemc, connected to Secw?pemculecw, our land."
