Significance of Resort

The Chief and Council of Skwlāx te Secwepemcúl̓ecw (Little Shuswap Lake Band) welcomes you to the territory. The settlers could not say the Shuswap name so it is known today as Squilax. Skwlax in the Shuswap language is known as black bear.

A limited amount of hunting on the reservation has preserved the abundance of wildlife in their pristine environment minutes from the highway. Most of the recreational areas are especially scenic with excellent fishing close at hand. The flora and fauna of the Little Shuswap are a photographer’s dream.

With all that we have to offer, we invite you to visit as a guest and leave as a friend. All that we ask is that you treat the land and the people with respect. This is our home for the short time that we are here on Mother Earth, but it is the home of the great spirit for eternity.
