Missing Secwepemc Sculpture.

🚨 MISSING TAPPEN BLUFFS SCULPTURE

The Secwépemc Landmarks Project Team is asking for the public’s help following the disappearance of the Tappen Bluffs sculpture.

The approximately 700-lb stone sculpture and 200-lb metalwork sculpture were discovered missing from the Tappen Bluffs site in July. The landmark was created through collaboration between Secwépemc and settler artisans, guided by the knowledge and stories of more than 75 Secwépemc Elders from participating communities, including Splatsin.

Anyone with information about the missing sculpture is encouraged to contact their local RCMP and reference file #26-4539.

🧡 Together in remembrance, respect, and reconciliation.

Today, our Kukpi7 Dianne Francois and Councillors Julie John and Dustin Tomma gathered in Chase alongside many community members to join Adams Lake Band, Neskonlith, and the Village of Chase for a walk marking the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The gathering continued with speeches, drumming, traditional dancing, and a shared lunch.

We honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, the Survivors, and the families and communities who continue to carry the impacts. We also honour the strength of our people and the languages, cultures, and traditions carried forward through generations.

Reconciliation is an ongoing responsibility. It asks us to listen to Survivors, learn the truth of our shared history, and turn that learning into meaningful action—today and throughout the year.

Thank you to everyone who walked alongside us and contributed to today’s gathering. May we continue to support one another and work toward a future where every child grows up safe, loved, and proud of who they are.

Every Child Matters. 🧡
