Note 94 — Chapter II · GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF SLAVERY.
Reading edition
“The Shushwaps,” Bancroft remarks, “are said to have no slaves”94. Among the Okanagans, a division of the Shushwaps, according to Ross, “there are but few slaves … and these few are adopted as children, and treated in all respects as members of the family”95. From this it would seem that slavery proper does not exist.
