En’Owkin Centre
The En’Owkin centre in Penticton is a multi-faceted educational institution serving the Okanagan Nation Member Reserves locally, regionally, and nationally. In its’ capacity as an educational centre, it undertakes the process of recovering and reinstituting traditional indigenous practices. Their new Indigenous Keepers Program engages two areas: creating linkages with local environmental organizations through a series of workshops; and developing a conservation strategy for the endangered riparian area surrounding the centre. The En’Owkin centre leads the Traditional Ecological Knowledge Team of the South Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Program.
