In the Shuswap language, Soda Creek is called Xats'ull, while Deep Creek is Cmetem'. Xat'sull, (pronounced hat-shall) means "on the cliff where the bubbling water comes out".[1]
The Xat'sull/Cmetem' First Nation has not signed any treaty with any settler-colonial political entity, nor has it ceded any land and let go its territorial claims. As part of the Northern Secwepemc te Qelmucw (Tribal Council), Xat'sull/Cmetem' First Nation has been in negotiation with the government of Canada and the government of British Columbia regarding a final treaty settling this matter. An "Agreement in Principle" was signed in 2018. Once a final agreement is signed between the Tribal Council, Canada, and British Columbia, it is expected that the Indian Reserves will be abolished, the territories under jurisdiction of Xat'sull/Cmetem' First Nation will expand significantly, and former reserves will be absorbed into settlement land under sovereignty of Xat'sull/Cmetem' First Nation.[4]
The Soda Creek/Deep Creek Band has only two Indian Reserves:[5] As explained before, these reserves were unilaterally defined by the Government of British Columbia, and thus the Band has never retracted its claim on its territory. These reserves are expected to be abolished and absorbed into settlement lands, after the signing of a final agreement.
