Okanagan College’s Annual Aboriginal Day celebration on March 11 acknowledges the unique heritage of Canada’s indigenous cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Metis people.
Over the last 15 years, Okanagan College has featured many local Indigenous artists, musicians, dancers and designers on Aboriginal Day. Aboriginal Elders have been invited and honoured every year by opening our ceremonies and offering prayers. Aboriginal students have prepared and served traditional food in a potluck style including bannock and Indian tacos. In fact, potlucks are an integral part of Aboriginal gatherings: the sharing of food, culture and knowledge.
Due to the pandemic, this year's celebration has been taken online. We hope you enjoy hearing , watching and learning from our OC community members and alumni who have made this virtual event possible.
