Title
En'owkin Centre
Description
Located on the Penticton Indian Reserve in the beautiful sunny Okanagan Valley, the unique building design reflects the traditional Okanagan winter home. It is a gathering place where family, friends and community come to replenish themselves spiritually. The En'owkin Centre is a teaching place where story, cooperation, craft and artistry come together.
The word En'owkin is an Okanagan conceptual metaphor which describes a process of clarification, conflict resolution, and group commitment, or coming to the best solutions possible through respectful dialogue; literally, consensus.
En'owkin provides students with a strong cultural and academic foundation for success in further post-secondary studies. Many former En'owkin students have gone on to become nationally and internationally known writers, artists and educators, have completed graduate degrees, are currently in degree programs, and are leaders in their communities.
