Name Change Ceremony:

On August 1, 2002 Lakahahmen formerly known as Leq'á:mel officially adopted our traditional name back. The name Leq'á:mel interpreted means, level center meeting place. Traditionally our community was the center of trading routes where people of all cultures would stay to rest, eat, visit, socialize and trade. When the Indian agents came to our territory in the 1800's the name Leq'á:mel was translated by another slightly different dialect for the Indian Agent to spell and pronounce thus became the name Lakahahmen.

On November 9, 2002 Leq'á:mel unveiled it's name and it's modified logo to the members, public and many representatives from government agencies, organizations, and communities. Leq'á:mel First Nation wish to acknowledge and thank all who were in attendance to help us celebrate this Historical celebration. It is our hope that our guests learned more about who we are.
