Sun Peaks Resort and Delta Hotels is built in Secwepemc territories, land which has never been ceded, released, nor surrendered. The Canadian and British Columbias governments harassment of Secwepemc people is a continuation of colonial practices that have robbed Indigenous people’s of their self-determination by usurping the land of Indigenous peoples and destroying Indigenous people’s livelihoods.
