Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre

Located in Osoyoos, BC, the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre (in-ka-meep) is operated by the Osoyoos Indian Band. The state-of-the-art interpretive centre offers interactive learning with hands-on exhibits, education stations, and two multi-sensory theatre experiences. Visitors can explore the “Living Lands” outdoor exhibit, admire sculptures, walk trails through sage and antelope-brush habitats, and enjoy views from the Chief’s Lookout. The 1,600-acre desert conservation area preserves the largest remnant of the Great American Desert and its unique ecology and wildlife, including the Rattlesnake. Experience the legends of Sen’klip (Coyote), come alive, engage with knowledgeable interpreters, and learn about the living culture of the Okanagan people. The Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre celebrates the past, present, and future of the Sylix Peoples and Osoyoos Indian Band’s vibrant culture.
