Seeadler über Sechelt
Die Sechelt (engl. Aussprache: „SEA-shelt“) oder Shishalh, (in Sechelt: Shishá7lh) sind eine der kanadischen First Nations in der Provinz British Columbia und zählen kulturell als auch sprachlich wie die eng verwandten Pentlatch (Puntletch oder Puntledge) und die Comox-Gruppen (Comox (K'omoks), Homalco (Xwemalhkwu), Klahoose (ƛohos) und Sliammon (ɬəʔamɛn oder Tla’amin)) zu den Küsten-Salish an. Zur zeit des ersten Kontakts mit den Europäern zählten die Shishalh (Sechelt) schätzungsweise ca. 26.000 Stammesmitglieder.
Die Sechelt (Shíshálh) First Nation, offiziell Sechelt Indian Band genannt, befindet sich heute gegenüber der Ostküste von Vancouver Island auf der östlichen Seite der Strait of Georgia mit dem nach ihnen benannten Ort Sechelt als Verwaltungssitz. Heute (September 2013) zählt sie 1.328 eingetragene Stammesmitglieder, von denen 630 in den eigenen Reservaten leben, 29 in anderen Reservaten sowie die restlichen 669 Stammesmitglieder außerhalb.

The Sechelt or Shishalh people, (in their language spelled Shishá7lh) are an indigenous people of Canada. At the time of the first European contact the Sechelt had a population of close to 26,000.[citation needed] Sechelt women were famous for their beautiful cedar woven baskets, which were made using materials such as cedar tree roots, cannery grass and birch bark.
The Sechelt First Nations settlement included four villages on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast, two in Jervis Inlet, and one each on Pender Harbour and on Sechelt Inlet. As the Europeans settled in the region, the Sechelt people experienced numerous changes. Disease brought over by the Europeans (especially smallpox) became rampant, and resulted in a severe decrease of the Sechelt population at their various traditional settlements.
The language of the Sechelt is called sháshíshálh. "Shashishalhem" is considered the most practical English spelling of this word. Sháshíshálh is part of the Coast Salish language group. As of 2014, the Coastal Corridor Consortium, "an entity made up of board members from First Nations and educational partners to improve aboriginal access to and performance in postsecondary education and training" has created a Sechelt Nation language certificate.
