Lazy Boy: this is a journey about a boy who learns about self-care, wellness and giving back to community.

Chipmunk and Owl Woman: this book tells a story of chipmunk trying to not get caught by owl woman, owl woman who went camp to camp and stole children & ate them.

This story is an adaptation of the CaptikwB[pic] of the Captikwł of How Coyote Broke the Salmon Dam. Such publications provide an opportunity for understanding the living land and teaching each generation how to become a “part of it” as the only way we, the Syilx, have survived.

A Home for Chipmunk: this book illustrates Traditional Family Decision Making from a Syilx perspective and can be used in the oral tradition of the Syilx people to preserve and teach our children the culture and ways of our ancestors.

A series of illustrated books created to ensure that Okanagan children’s voices are heard. This book was made possible with the participation of the Okanagan nation schools.

This book describes the Okanagan Peoples relationship to the land and water. The Syilx People have always governed our land according to principles that are embedded in traditional knowledge, stories, teachings, ceremonies, medicines, dances, and the arts. These principles carry with them a sacred, inherent responsibility to care for the tmXwUlAXw (Our Land).

This learning resource is based on a workshop series designed by the Okanagan Nation Alliance in partnership with the En’owkin Centre. The workshops approached the subject of Syilx families from several perspectives. A total of five workshops were held between March and December of 2010. At the end of the series, participants said: We can’t keep these learnings to ourselves-we need to share them. This learning resource was created to do just that.

For Syilx (Okanagan) People, the ways of knowing water are embedded in our language and bequeathed to us by our ancestors. Maintaining the integrity of water is essential to our identity and is entrenched in our responsibilities to our homelands. Water is our most sacred medicine. This booklet is both of the relationship that we share with water and an invitation to others to reflect on their relationship with this vital gift.

The Okanagan Nation Alliance (ONA) is proud to share this record of our people’s endurance through the darkest chapter of our collective story. While there are now many books about the Indian residential school system, this is the first to speak about the specific ways in which it has touched the Syilx people. This book is in honour of all members of our Nation who have been impacted by the Indian residential school system—past, present, and future.
