SUMMARY:2024 Sinixt Canoe Journey Nelson Stop
DESCRIPTION:The Nelson stop of the Canoe Journey offers community members the chance to paddle alongside the traditional dugout canoes\, discover the secrets of nature in our medicinal plant workshop\, and enjoy live performances by Sinixt Members. \nThe Canoe Journey is a powerful assertion of the belief that Indigenous peoples of the region are stewards of the river and the salmon—one of their first foods. This journey highlights the vital connection between their language\, culture\, and the natural environment. \nThis event offers a transformative opportunity for the (Sinixt) Snayckstx/Arrow Lakes and Colville people (Snʕayckstx and Sxʷyʔiłp) to reconnect with their language\, traditional territories\, and waterways.

This may be one of the most significant moments in history to amplify the Indigenous community’s voice regarding our shared responsibility to the land\, waters\, and natural environment. \nLast year’s journey spanned 272 miles\, from the Head Waters of the Columbia River at Revelstoke and Two Rivers\, Washington\, on the Spokane Indian Reservation\, culminating at the Kettle Falls Fishery and traditional Salmon Ceremony site. \nThis year’s sponsors are: \nColumbia Power Corporation\, West Kootenay Regional Arts Council\, Nelson Museum\, Archives and Gallery\, The Capitol Theatre\, Real Estate Foundation of BC\, The Nelson Chamber of Commerce\, Lalin Vocal Ensemble\, Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism\, VIDEA\, BC Arts Council\, The City of Nelson\, Canadian Heritage\, The Hume Hotel. \nBelow is a full list of free community opportunities.
