The artwork is inspired by the captíkʷɬ and sqilxʷcaw̓t (ways of being). We celebrate this gift as we continue to work towards creating a more respectful and inclusive society for all people.
The syilx/Okanagan people have been placed here by k̓ʷln̓cutn̓ (creator) to care for the tm̓xʷúlaʔxʷ uɬ siw̓ɬkʷ (land and water) and all that is connected to it. captíkʷɬ (creation stories) are passed down from one generation to the next and contain sacred laws and teachings about living as a part of tm̓xʷúlaʔxʷ.
