Nk'Mip, Skaha, Similkameen

Kessa is farming a piece of her dad's property this year, which means her and the kids have been heading up there a fair bit. I was able to sneak in a visit over Father's Day. My job is usually to look after the kids so Kessa can get the work done on the farm. And I get to take the kids on adventures! Fun gig.

I have been wanting to go to the Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre for a bit now. The area is one of the few actual desert ecosystems in Canada. There is also a strong cultural connection to the land.
