Welcome to the Shuswap Band

Keepers of the Land

We are located in the East Kootenay region of British Columbia.

The First Nations people have always been keepers of the land, using its bounty to sustain their way of life.

Native culture hinges on the belief that the land responds positively to care and respect.

Those who nurture the land will receive back from it ten-fold. The vision of Eagle Ranch was born out of this intrinsic cultural belief.

VISION: Our people are our strength; our children are the future.

MISSION:
Shuswap Band members are proud, healthy and starving to create is a respectful, prosperous and self-sufficient community.

Shuswap Band members honour our culture, language and traditions in ways that promote economic prosperity, as well as opportunities for education and employment.

Shuswap Band members value our lands and work in ways that enhance our connections to the land.
