Sncewips Heritage Museum

The Sncewips (sen-ch-wee-ps) Heritage Museum serves as representation of Westbank First Nation (WFN) heritage and the rich narratives of the syilx/Okanagan Nation. With a curated collection of tangible and intangible objects and cultural knowledge, the museum is a sanctuary for sqilxʷ representation, culture, and heritage. Named after the interpretation of “how our tangible objects tell our story” or “a conversation with an ancestor,” the museum provides a sacred space for preserving and celebrating syilxʷ heritage. Offering self-guided tours, in-depth guided tours exploring the Syilx people and their community, as well as outdoor Community Core Tours, the museum invites visitors to immerse themselves in the culture and history of the syilx/Okanagan people.
