The Cheam Indian Band (Halkomelem: Xwchí:yò:m)[1] is a First Nations band government of the Stó:lō people in the Upper Fraser Valley region of British Columbia, Canada, located near the community of Rosedale.[2] They traditionally speak the Upriver dialect of Halkomelem, one of the Salishan family of languages.

They are a member government of the Sto:lo Tribal Council, one of two Sto:lo tribal councils.
