Ktunaxa Open House

At an informational table on Fisheries and the Salmon Festival,
 two young sturgeon were on display.   

On Friday February 22nd,  the Ktunaxa Nation Council opened the doors of their new office location in the Central School Building, which was purchased by the Ktunaxa Nation in the Fall of 2012.

The gym was used to display the many different aspects of Ktunaxa life and work.  Each of the Corporate, Economic, Social Investment, Lands and Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Language sectors had displays.

Part of the building basement is now used to hold the Nation Council extensive Archives.  Some contents of the archives were displayed in the gym and upstairs in the main building.

Ian Tamasi, an archaeologist with Tipi Mountain Eco Cultural Services led a hands on discussion with children as part of the activities.

Isaac Birdstone

An Adolphus painting of Chief Paul David from Tobacco Plains
In July of 2014 we received different information from Margaret Teneese,  that  this Adolphus Burton painting is actually of Isaac Birdstone in his grass dance outfit. 


Congratulations to the Ktunaxa Nation for putting life once more into this valuable building  and for adding another  important chapter in its life.
