MNF Waiver: Every person must sign this waiver here
Join Anona Kampe, Penticton Indian Band member in the Okanagan Nation, for a short but steep hike up the mountain known today as Giants Head in Summerland. Anona will explain what the syilx Okanagan people have called this mountain since time immemorial. She will share the traditional story called captikʷɬ in their language, which explains why this mountain is called kɬt̓upus. Participants will learn about local plants, harvesting practices, animals and landforms. Anona will share the Okanagan language called nsyilxcn and translations in English. Dress for the weather, at the top of the mountain it can get quite windy. There are some steep sections in this walk. Bring something to sit on while listening to the story (a small blanket or towel).
A member of the Penticton Indian Band or snpintktn in the syilx Okanagan Nation, Anona Kampe has worked within the Nation sharing syilx Okanagan culture, language and Indigenous perspectives with many organizations. Anona shares in a good way, never claiming to know everything, rather admittedly a lifelong learner. She shares what has been shared with her by her Elders, knowledge keepers and fluent speakers.
