A vital part of the Secwépemc identity is our language. One of the most important lessons we learn in life is to be humble. So much so that when we speak Secwepemctsin, humility is always shown when speaking of one’s self. We value Secwepemctsin as a sacred thing. In such we must also accept that when people learn they are allowed to make mistakes and often do. Accept that in any language people make mistakes in pronunciation.
