The Past and The Presence of The Shuswap
Words by Steve Fennell
The history of the Shuswap is just as interesting as region is today. Named after the Shuswap – or Secwepemc – First Nations – the area was a large settlement for the tribal band where they flourished, living off the region’s large habitat of fish, vegetation, and wildlife. The region later evolved into a popular route for fur traders and explorers; where the Hudson Bay Company built and launched its first steamer; served as a main supply chain during the Big Bend Gold Rush in the 1860s; and is near where the Last Spike was punched into the ground, thus completing the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885.
