From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Canim Lake Band is a First Nations government of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Nation, located in the Central Interior region of the Canadian province of British Columbia. Its main Indian reserve is located at Canim Lake, British Columbia, near 100 Mile House. It was created when the government of the then-Colony of British Columbia established an Indian Reserve system in the 1860s. It is a member government of the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council.

The Canim Lake people are known in the Shuswap language as the Tsq'escenemc, "people of standing rock", while their community is known as Tsq'escen' ("standing rock")
