  1. Great pictures! They really help showcase the pithouses and give an idea of what they were like. Like the comments on all of the pictures too.

  3. Who thought pit houses could be so much fun?

    A lot of cool info, and loved the photo and caption duo accompaniment

  6. Hi, I am the archivist for the Secwepemc Museum. You have some nice photos here. Would you mind if we use one? We are lacking in interior images of the Thompson Phase pithouse, I need one for a project. Of course you will receive credit for photography. my work email is Carryl.armstrong@kib.ca if you would like to contact me via email. Best regards, Carryl
