Children learn about traditional territory during fish harvest, relocation
KAMLOOPS — Jacko Lake and the land surrounding is sacred to the Secwepemc people. Today, May 11, SSN staff spent the morning teaching young children the importance of being stewards of the land.
High water has spilled hundreds of fish out of the lake, into Ink’s Creek, and further into marshy grassland where they will be unable to survive.
Children from Little Fawn Nursery helped relocate many of those fish, all while learning valuable lessons about their land and culture.
