Thompson Okanagan Vacation Guide 2012 - (Page 30)

Close your eyes and envision a rich and rugged landscape dotted with pristine lakes and rivers, abundant in ﬁsh and wildlife. Such is the Thompson Okanagan that was home to our First Nations Communities of , Nlaka’pamux, Okanagan and Secwepemc and the Settlers and Ranchers who arrived in 1886. Over 100 years later you can feel them all around you as you explore museums and heritage sites that tell the stories of a simpler but challenging life. Live the history as you step inside a Native Kekuli or sweat lodge, learn and observe the traditions the live on today, participate in the dance at a pow wow, take part in aboriginal craft making and story telling, bringing to life to our vibrant colorful past. It is also here where you can lose yourself in the backcountry, as you journey through the many uncrowded cross-country and technical trails or saddle up, feel the wind in your hair and ride the range at Douglas Lake Ranch, one of Canada’s largest working cattle ranches. 30 www.travelthompsonokanagan.com http://www.travelthompsonokanagan.com
