Spirit of the Lake Native Boutique in West Kelowna offers a wide range of specialty gifts, including silver jewelry, moccasins, and beaded items handmade by Indigenous artists in BC. Spirit of the Lake Native carries First Nations art, jewellery, fashion, and houseware featuring Indigenous designs and gifts for graduations, weddings, and ceremonies.
The shop is named in honour of the Syilx legend of Okanagan Lake and nx̌aʔx̌ʔitkʷ, also known as Ogopogo–a spirit feared and respected but not considered malevolent. When you visit Spirit of the Lake Native Boutique, ask about nx̌aʔx̌ʔitkʷ (Ogopogo), ?-lawna (Kelowna), or Skimheist (Black Bear) and hear the owner’s family history on Tsinstikeptum 10.
