This book, by Marianne and Ron Ignace, is an encyclopedic documentation of 10,000 years of Secwepemc presence in the Interior of BC. An excellent review is posted on Jim Cooperman’s blog, Shuswap Passion. “Above all else, the Ignaces have put to rest the misconception that Ingenious Nations were primitive people that were inferior to Europeans, as they clearly show how the Secwepemc indeed had a sophisticated culture and treated each other, their neighbours and the environment with more respect than we see today in our supposedly advanced societies.”
