Communications Project Initiative District of Lake Country 10150 Bottom Wood Lake Road Lake Country, BC V4V 2M1 t: 250-766-5650 f: 250-766-2903 lakecountry.bc.ca PROJECT/PROGRAM BACKGROUND: Following a Notice of Motion by Councillor Gambell July 7, 2020 requesting that an Indigenous Territory Acknowledgement be included at Council meetings, the following statement has been drafted along with educational themes for the first Council meeting of each month during 2021. OVERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS OF PROJECT/PROGRAM: Provide an opportunity for building awareness, understanding, respect and relationships between Lake Country Council, staff and residents with Okanagan Indigenous Peoples. Identify broad goals and specific objectives for communications. Relationship-building, respect and understanding are the objectives for a territorial acknowledgement at each Council meeting; and brief presentation or educational statement to be read at the first Council meeting of each month starting January 2021. Suggested territorial acknowledgment vetted by OKIB to be read by the Mayor at the beginning of each meeting: “I would like to acknowledge that we are conducting our business today on the unceded territory of squilx”/syilx (Okanagan) peoples. As a Council, we recognize the importance of doing our best to build respectful relationships that contribute to stewarding the land and waters in the community with integrity and consideration for future generations.” Some themes for a monthly Educational opportunity – simple “Did you know . ?” to increase understanding Language – learn some common terms – greetings, thanks, local place names The nsyilxcən language and Syilx/Okanagan culture respectfully honour the natural laws of the tmixw – that which gives us life. Okanagan is the “Anglicized version of Suqnaqinx and refers to the Indigenous people of the Okanagan territory, it translates as ―takes to the head or mind” (Cohen 2010: page xiv). Sqilxw is “[t]he Okanagan term for the Indigenous people also commonly called the Okanagan whose territory is located in the southern interior of BC and north central Washington, literally translates as the dream in a spiral. Syilx is also used and refers to the peoples who speak nsyilxcen, the Okanagan language” (Cohen 2010: page xiv). Syilx placenames speak to the history of the Syilx people on the land. Place names are more than just names for a particular location; they provide teachings in the nsyilxcən language and speak to the relationship of the Syilx people and their land. (Learn the pronunciation of words: https://www.firstvoices.com/kids/FV/sections/Data/nsyilxc%C9%99n/nsyilxc%C9%99n/Syilx/learn/words/categorie s) Art and Culture (Drumming, songs and dance; sculpture and painting) The Okanagan Song Performed by Trish Manuel and Bruce Manuel https://www.syilx.org/wp/wp-content/themes/ona/songs/okanagan_song.mp3 Kikinee Song Performed by Ruby Alexis https://www.syilx.org/about-us/syilx-nation/songs/ Respect for the Environment/Relationships with the Land - Grand Chief Stewart Phillip was quoted as saying: “In the indigenous world view, we believe that the land, the water, the environment is what sustains all life. We simply can’t continue with rampant exploitation of the land, because there are consequences—global warming, climate change.” He emphasized that embracing indigenous people and indigenous values is going to serve all of us in the long run, in terms of developing a sustainable approach to resource development, which we desperately need. Traditionally, the open forest and grassland ecosystems found in the Okanagan-Similkameen areas were maintained by low intensity, controlled burns, lit and managed by the Syilx (Okanagan) people. Cikilaxwm is the word for traditional burning of the land for the health of the Timixw , which is land and resources. In today’s climate, controlled burning is done for the safety and security of communities and the people who live on this landscape. Wildlife - Hunting and Fishing n’titxw or Chief Salmon is the chief of all things water. Historically salmon was an important part for food and economic purposes. During fish harvest certain parts of the salmon are returned to the river of origin. Portions of fish are given as also offered to eagles and owls, again reinforcing strong reciprocal bonds within the broader ecosystem. Watch this video of fishing and the impact on culture and values: Slow Fish Okanagan Sockeye (3:30 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgiH5nfWXB0 Water The importance of water in Syilx communities is related through captikwl and the natural laws. Through culture and language, water is a valued component that serves a reminder of following protocols for future generations to survive in harmony with all living things. The importance of water is translated through oral narrative that teaching the basic notions of living on the land in a sustainable cycle. siwlɬkʷ is the nsyilxcəәn word for water. The meaning comes from (siw) and (ɬkʷ)ˑ • The (siw) from siwst-to drink (human) • The (ɬkʷ) from ɬkʷitkʷ-to lap (animal) • Together the two parts identify the Syilx ethic that the right to water is equal for animals and humans. • silwɬkʷ is sacred as the source of all life on the tmxʷulaxʷ. Listen to Richard Armstrong discuss Water (1 min) https://youtu.be/rsGTKxl42iY Food and Gathering Traditions (feasts; ceremonial food allocations) The Okanagan people were hunters and gatherers. Their staple diet consisted of deer, salmon, rabbit etc. The Okanagans were also gatherers of roots, berries and various other plants. C:\Users\wperez\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\NISLL8QV\Indigenous Territory Acknowledgement and Education 2021 proposal.docx Syilx/Okanagan People have been and continue to be nourished by a wealth of biodiversity including fish, wild game, berries, roots, and medicines. Hunting & gathering these resources requires a localized knowledge of that is dictated by the seasonal cycles of the land. Syilx/Okanagan families have always and continue to be united by the hunting, fishing, harvesting, and gathering of food as the traditional gathering of these foods on the land is ceremony itself and demonstrates honour and respect for the tmixʷ (all living things). As caretakers of the land is the Syilx/Okanagan right to utilize the land and water to the best of its abilities so that future generations may gather from those same places. Life within Syilx/Okanagan communities is built upon respect. To care for the land is to care for the people. Knowledge keepers – oral histories/storytelling captikwł are a collection of teachings about Syilx/Okanagan laws, customs, values, governance structures and principles that, together, define and inform Syilx/Okanagan rights and responsibilities to the land and culture. These stories provide instruction on how to relate to and live on the land. captikwł stories serve as reminder of Syilx/Okanagan natural laws and protocols that need to be followed in order for future generations to survive in harmony with the tmixw. These stories are embedded in the Syilx culture and language and play a vital role in cultural renewal and revitalization. Historical Land Use and Mobility – seasonal trails The Okanagan (syilx) people occupy an area which extends over approximately 69 000 square kilometers. The northern area of this territory is close to the area of Mica Creek, just north of Revelstoke, BC, and the eastern boundary is Kootenay Lake. The southern boundary extends to the vicinity of Wilbur, Washington and the western border extends into the Nicola Valley. "S-Ookanhkchinx” in the Okanagan language translates to mean “transport toward the head or top end” this refers to the people traveling from the head of the Okanagan Lake to where the Okanagan River meet the Columbia River. In other words Okanagan Lake and Okanagan River as well as other water systems were the traditional transportation routes of the syilx. The Okanagan Indian Band is located at the head of Okanagan Lake, with a land base of 11,282.5 hectares. OKIB is made up of six reserves and spread from Armstrong to Winfield and Westside of Okanagan Lake. The Okanagan Indian Band membership and their ancestors are known as Inkumupulux or Head of the Lake. Inkumupulux is both a name for the people and where they live. The route continues from “near the head of Okanagan Lake following the easiest route through the valley to the confluence of the Okanogan” (in the excerpt the Canadian or Northern Okanagan spelling is used however, the Southern or American Okanogan spelling of the river would be more correct) and Columbia Rivers. The fact that the Okanagan territory is divided through the border between Canada and the United States of America; as a matter of fact, the fur trade route through the Okanagan valley became unused due to the implementation of the 49th parallel, or the Canada-U.S. Border. As a result of ongoing political and social tension, the Reserve Commissioners allotted the reserves that comprise the Okanagan Indian Band. Initially, the Okanagan Indian Band was comprised of the Okanagan Reserve no.1, Otter Lake Reserve no.2, Harris Reserve no.3, Swan Lake Reserve no.4, Long Lake Reserve no.

  • “Viewpoints” on Reconciliation: Indigenous Perspectives for Post-Secondary Education in the Southern Interior of Bc
    “VIEWPOINTS” ON RECONCILIATION: INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION IN THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR OF BC 2020 Project Synopsis By Christopher Horsethief, PhD, Dallas Good Water, MA, Harron Hall, BA, Jessica Morin, MA, Michele Morin, BSW, Roy Pogorzelski, MA September 1, 2020 Research Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Executive Summary This research project synopsis presents diverse Indigenous community perspectives regarding the efforts needed to enable systemic change toward reconciliation within a public post-secondary educational institution in the Southern Interior of British Columbia. The main research question for this project was “How does a community college respectfully engage in reconciliation through education with the First Nations and Métis communities in the traditional territories in which it operates?” This research was realized by a team of six Indigenous researchers, representing distinct Indigenous groups within the region. It offers Indigenous perspectives, insights, and recommendations that can help guide post-secondary education toward systemic change. This research project was Indigenous led within an Indigenous research paradigm and done in collaboration with multiple communities throughout the Southern Interior region of British Columbia. Keywords: Indigenous-led research, Indigenous research methodologies, truth and reconciliation, Indigenous education, decolonization, systemic change, public post- secondary education in BC, Southern Interior of BC ii Acknowledgements This research was made possible through funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada. The important contributions from the Sinixt, Ktunaxa, Syilx, and Métis Elders, Knowledge Keepers, youth, men, and women within this project are essential to restoring important aspects of education that have been largely omitted from the public education system.

  • Backgrounder
    February 2013 BACKGROUNDER South Okanagan/Lower Similkameen National Park Reserve Okanagan Nation Feasibility Study In January 2011 the Government of Canada and the Province of BC released a positive assessment of feasibility that failed to include the Syilx Okanagan Nation perspective and interests. In August 2011 Parks Canada allocated funding to commence work on a Syilx Feasibility Study to allow for the inclusion of the Okanagan Nation perspectives. The Syilx Parks Working Group was formed and given the task to complete the Feasibility Study from an indigenous perspective, with Parks Canada participating as an observer. The Syilx Parks Working Group was composed of Okanagan Nation Alliance and the four southern Okanagan Nation member communities: Osoyoos Indian Band, Lower Similkameen Indian Band, Upper Similkameen Indian Band and the Penticton Indian Band. The study found that it is feasible to explore further discussions with Parks Canada about a future National Park Reserve, so long as Syilx Title, Rights and interests are protected and respected. The Syilx Parks Working Group advocates a collaborative and consensus based model with Parks Canada similar to those in Gwaii Haanas. The Report also found that the current Parks model is insufficient in size to promote the broader vision for protection of Syilx cultural and ecological integrity in the South Okanagan Lower Similkameen. Additional work should be initiated to address the broader Syilx vision for protection of land and culture. A Socio-Cultural, Environmental and Economic Impact Assessment has determined that a National Park Reserve has some potential to provide some additional benefits to Syilx people and culture, through increased research funding and employment opportunities.
