For over two decades\, our people have worked tirelessly to restore what was taken and to ensure our children grow up knowing who they are\, where they come from\, and that they belong with us. \nThis journey has been marked by profound milestones: \n\n1999: Leadership agreed to use delegated agency as an interim measure; vision was lost during this process but not forgotten.\n2003: The Tribal Case Book documented Sewépeme stories and legal traditions\, while the Sewépemetsin Glossary preserved over 600 terms about children and families\n2009: Children from all seventeen communities united under one vision one heart\, one mind\, one body\, one spirit\n2010-2018: Communities explored traditional approaches and eleven communities participated in drafting the law and building capacity for jurisdiction\n2025: Yewminte re Xqwilint Society (Take Care of Baby Basket Society) was established to implement Secwépeme Law of Stsmémelt and Kw’sélkten\n\nToday\, Tkemlúps te Secwépeme\, Bonaparte\, and Whispering Pines/Clinton Indian Band are leading implementation\, ensuring our children come home. \n\nYou are invited to witness this historic milestone:\nDate: February 1\, 2026\nDelta Hotel: What is Secwepeme Law? (10:30am – 5:00pm *Lunch & Dinner provided*)\nLocation: 540 Victoria St.\, Kamloops\, BC V2C 1B9\nFilm Screening: 5:00 pm\nLocation: Paramount Theater\, 503 Victoria Street\, Kamloops\, BC \nYour presence would honor the generations who walked this path before us and inspire the generations who will continue this sacred work. Together\, we are building a future where our children belong with their people\, rooted in Scewépeme traditions and values. \nKukwstsetseme\,\nKukpi7 Darrel Draney\nTribal Kukpi7
