Abstract:

Some North Okanagan cultural partners are learning from a residential school survivor and his Sixties Scoop partner. The Cultural Safety Program, facilitated by local Indigenous Syilx Elders, is being hosted by the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives. The program provides training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, and anti-racism for partners in arts, culture, and heritage in the North Okanagan as they share positive information about Syilx people and participate in a process of reconciliation and future collaboration.
