===Declaration of the Lillooet Tribe===
The [[declaration of the Lillooet Tribe]] was made in 1911 in [[Spences Bridge, British Columbia|Spences Bridge]] and is the nation's declaration of ownership over lands that had been seized by non-native settlers at [[Seton Portage]] at the onset of the 20th century, and is considered a general statement of principle regarding ownership of all traditional territories of the St{{hamza}}at{{hamza}}imcets-speaking peoples. The Declaration of the Lillooet Tribe is the Lillooet Tribe's first formal declaration to the world of the tribes status as a Country, in International terms, as they understood them at that time. The Declaration is mentioned as the foundation document of all the various organizations of the Lillooet Tribe in place today, such as the St{{hamza}}at{{hamza}}imc Chiefs Council, Lillooet Tribal Council and the [[In-SHUCK-ch Nation]]. The Declaration brings the tribe together at the grassroots level as a Country.
