sqʷəlqʷltulaʔxʷVoices on the LandAs we head into the final days of summer, the word “Okanagan” probably conjures up images of fine wines, sweet cherries, and burgeoning vineyards. But for the Okanagan Nation Alliance, this land is far more than a weekend getaway – and they want the world to know it. The Okanagan Nation Alliance asked us to build a tool to help describe their multi-dimensional, deeply historical relationship to this place. From that challenge sprang Voices on The Land – a modern exploration of the Okanagan’s deep, rich history. In the online map, guided tours travel through communities and landmarks while embedded videos and markers tell the Nation’s story in the Colville-Okanagan Salish language. We invite you to experience the Okanagan as its people see it.
