Great video!!!

I really do appreciate these updates! I really wish there was a lot more support for this channel, hopefully, it will grow over time. I may not be a member of WFN, although I have grown up on I.R. 9 Since 1978 and still live on this land today. I'm not sure if my voice will carry much weight, although, I have a lot of respect for the Syilx people and have a great love for the land. We may not have a lot of control over climate change, but we do have the ability to make a difference. (This may get long-winded, my apologies) Back in the old days, our ancestors all heated their homes, cooked their food, boiled their water, and smoked their meats on wood fires, and they used up all the dead dried-out trees and lowered dead branches from the trees for this, it kept the forests fairly clean from these fuels. Back in those days, there were more broad-leaf trees and giant old-growth Douglas fir around. When your ancestors would burn the forests to rejuvenate the land in the old days, they would have been fast-moving fires that only touched the undergrowth and really didn't hurt the trees at all. With more modern forestry practices they clear-cut large areas of land, taking out the old-growth trees and even the broad-leaf trees that have no market value, and replanting a lot of non-native trees that have higher market value, but they tend to plant these new trees too close together, These trees do ok here for the first 10 to 15 years but they end up crowding themselves out and the weaker trees die, most fall, some stay standing, but nobody collects that wood now that we have gas and electricity, so they fuel these fires. With climate change, those fuels are getting drier, and there are fewer and fewer broad-leaf trees that help to stop the fires. We still need lumber, and we may always need lumber, but I would like to see more money going into replanting native trees and taking care of our forests, more selective logging than traditional clear-cutting. We could maybe make more money on eco-tourism than logging. I don't have all the answers, but I know what we are doing now isn't working on a lot of levels! I do know that the carbon given off from burning wood is not the same carbon given off from burning fossil fuels (current carbon cycles versus sequestered carbon that was taken out of the current carbon cycles) maybe we should go back to heating our houses with wood stoves?

Thank you Jordan for the update. Well done leadership for the direction to staff and community to ease all our programs and contractors of this extreme circumstance we are all in.❤

Thank you for replying to concerns in this difficult time 🙏

nice to see someone who cares

Love it!!!!

Great Video!!!!! Everyone should use less water so then everyone else can have water to drink and also the fish need the water to swim in we need to save our water now before it's too late otherwise we are going to run out of water due to global warming

Sneak peek at something we don't see often. Thanks.

This is not traditional! Using machines and materials that are none native

I am from the okanagan indian band and i am wondering if there is extended footage of these interviews so i can learn more about my culture.

Question - what was the fat that Pauline drank again.... deer or buffalo?

Water, "to be as so humble, it will seek the lowest place on this earth". What an incredibly profound statement, we need to stop and listen, and to fill our ears with these teachings.

Proud to have grown up in the WFN.

that girl in the beginning is pretty cute

Yep’n x̣est. Many words in this dialect are the same as on the Flathead Reservation.

I go to that school :D

I am Okanagan from Vernon BC, but I live down on the coast, it makes me sad that I do not know my language and would love to learn if I could because I feel without it there is such a disconnect from my culture. I feel that I should find the time because I keep feeling a calling to learn it. thank you for posting these videos, It is very easy for me to just learn about the broad native culture and beliefs rather than Okanagan specifically. Thank you for posting these videos!
