One Hundred X One Hundred project

x̌cəcikst X x̌cəcikst Project

The year 2021 marked 100 years of the Oliver community and 10,000 years of the syilx Okanagan Nation. The Town was established on and shaped by the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territory of the syilx Peoples whose history stretches back 10,000 years.  

The One Hundred X One Hundred / x̌cəcikst X x̌cəcikst Project provided an opportunity to explore our roots and share wisdom to build a stronger shared community, a deeper connection to the land, and to grow our future together for generations to come.
