We Acknowledge:
The United Churches in the Thompson Okanagan region are situated on the traditional, unceded territory of three Interior Salish nations: the Syilx, Secwépemc, and Nlaka’pamux peoples. As well, the Thompson Okanagan includes land and water routes that were created and used, both historically and presently, by Indigenous peoples as seasonal travel and trade routes.
The Central Okanagan United Church buildings in Kelowna are situated on the traditional, unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan People. We are grateful to have the opportunity to worship, learn, create, play, and work on these lands.
