Camchin, British Columbia
- Camchin, British Columbia
Camchin, in general means "rivers meeting", but a more accurate interpretation of the name means, "The place inside the heart where the blood mixes". It is the ancient Nlaka'pamux name for the confluence of the Thompson and Fraser Rivers in the Fraser Canyon of British Columbia, Canada. The meaning refers to location as the heart of the Nlaka'pamux Nation, and a creation story that accounts the Nlaka'pamux hero "Coyote" being disemboweled by a giant shape shifting creature known as a "Transformer", his heart being thrown into the confluence of the Fraser and Thompson rivers. It also refers to the main First Nations community adjacent to the town of Lytton and is found in the form Kumsheen in local business and school names.
