The Canoe Creek Indian Band forms the NSTS band with the largest membership. In 2006, they will be the host of the next Shuswap Gathering, which will see the members of the 17 Shuswap bands unite for lahal, baseball, powwow, bingos, ball hockey, dancing and a 20 km messenger run. In addition, Canoe Creek typically holds a powwow annually. Canoe Creek is also home to beautiful surrounds, as it is enveloped by a large precipitous valley that has been the chosen landscape of many films, including the Hollywood film “The 13th Warrior” (1999). Also, Canoe Creek, along with the other three NStQ bands and Esket, participate and help organize the annual Unity Ride, which will take place in June of this year. |
