Sekens or Seketese people are a North Nelbec ethnic group native to the Nelborne and nation identified with the country of Seketan. This connection may be ethnic, legal, historical, or cultural.
The heritage of Seketese people is primarily of Old Nelbec origin who descended from prehistoric cultures that arrived from Europe during the Ice Age. The Proto-Secenic language was the primary language of the Secenic Empire and later Secenic Confederation. A Seketese nationstate emerged with the Kingdom of Seketan, with the national identify being further defined in the Seketese national awakening and the subsequent establishment of a liberal Seketese republic.
Sekens are often divided into sub-ethnic groups or "tribes" based on provincial or cultural boundaries. The government of Seketan officially recognizes Fjeskans and Wilsks—from the autonomous provinces of Fjeska and Wilskland respectively—as separate ethnic groups from "Sekens", but continues to classify them as "Seketese" but part of a more distinct "tribe". Whether Fjeskans or Wilsks are Seketese is dubious.
