Let Us Begin With Courage

The Okanagan People practice bio-regionally self-sufficient economies and believe that the total community must be engaged in order to attain sustainability and survival. The word "cooperation" is insufficient to describe the organic nature by which members of this community nurture the voluntary care of each other and of other life forms, the practice of which they hold to be an essential foundation for everyday living. Jeannette Armstrong, who was born into the Okanagan living community, shares more about this deep philosophy in which she was raised.
