The Bonaparte Indian Band is a member of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Nation. The band's two main communities are near Cache Creek and also near Marble Canyon about 20 miles west of Cache Creek. It was created when the government of the Colony of British Columbia established an Indian Reserve system in the 1860s. It is a member band of the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council.

The Bonaparte Indian Band are also called the Stuctwesemc, which means "people of Stuctuws" (also spelled St'uxwtews)
