Museum

The Secwepemc Ethnobotanical Gardens were created in 1999 to promote an understanding of Secwepemc language, culture and use of native plants. Along with fishing and hunting, Secwepemc people relied heavily on plants for food, for medicines, and for tools and implements. Plant knowledge continues to be an essential part of Secwepemc cultural knowledge and is communicated through traditional stories, place names, beliefs and values.

The Secwepemc Museum & Heritage Park is located just east of the Kamloopa Pow-Wow grounds on the Kamloops Indian Reserve
