Senk̓lip has been the voice of the Okanagan Indian Band community since 1976. Named after the syilx cultural figure Senk̓lip (Coyote), the publication reflects the tradition of storytelling and shared knowledge that has long guided the syilx people.
In syilx teachings, Senk̓lip is often described as a transformer, teacher, and trickster. Through stories passed down by Elders, senk̓lip helps explain how the world came to be and teaches important lessons about respect, responsibility, and how people should live with one another and with the land.
In the same spirit, the Senk̓lip newsletter serves as a place for community stories, updates, and teachings. It shares the work of the Band, highlights the achievements of Members, and helps keep community informed and connected. Like the stories of Senk̓lip, the publication carries knowledge forward from one generation to the next while reflecting the living culture and values of the Syilx people.
