June is Indigenous History Month, a time to honour and uplift the stories, cultures, languages, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples. At Westbank First Nation, we celebrate the strength of our suknaqínx, sqilxʷ, syilx Okanagan people, reflect on our shared history, and continue the work of preserving our traditions for future generations.
On June 21st, we recognize National Indigenous Peoples Day. This date coincides with the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, which holds cultural and spiritual significance for many Indigenous communities.
Throughout the month, we invite our community to learn, listen, and walk alongside us in the spirit of respect, understanding, and reconciliation as we honour Indigenous histories and celebrate Indigenous cultures.
