Way’/ Hello!

We practise our work, and live in community with the Syilx People of the Okanagan First Nation. Specifically alongside people living on the Okanagan Indian Band Reserve. It is understood that Syilx Okanagan People have come from the land and animals themselves. Before humans were created, animal people lived on the land and gave up themselves along with their ways, beliefs, practices, and experiences for the people-to-be. Many of the teachings we have today come from the animal and plant people are portrayed through capt̓ikʷł, oral narrative. We give thanks to our family, friends, community, animal kin and the land that sustains us.
